Last Bell on June

{"language":"eng","descriptor":"","text":"[Verse 1]\nLast bell crying in the hall\nChalk dust drifting on the floor\nLittle hands on rusted desks\nSummer waiting by the door\n\nMaps rolled up like sleeping saints\nFlag pole creaking in the heat\nPigeons circle over pine\nSlow as prayer beneath their feet\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nAnd the day leans back\nLike a field of wheat\nEvery name held close\nThen let it breathe\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, let it run\nLet it run, let it run\nThis endless June\nOh, let it run\nLet it run, let it run\nTill the whole year's blue\n(whole year’s blue)\n\n[Verse 2]\nPaper boats in a flooded ditch\nCrickets tuning up the air\nBus doors yawning open wide\nLike an old ark going somewhere\n\nMama says the time is kind\nWhen it stretches like a hymn\nWe are small, but we are here\nTill the long days pull us in\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nAnd the bell grows faint\nIn the cedar rain\nEvery lock on every door\nForgets its name\n\n[Chorus]\nOh, let it run\nLet it run, let it run\nThis endless June\nOh, let it run\nLet it run, let it run\nTill the whole year's blue\n(whole year’s blue)\n\n[Bridge]\nIn the book of dust and light\nIn the fig tree’s patient shade\nWe are wheat and we are sparrows\nWe are candles God has made\n\nOne by one, the classroom fades\nLike a lantern through the pines\nStill the summer keeps on breathing\nBigger than the county lines\n\n[Final Chorus]\nOh, let it run\nLet it run, let it run\nThis endless June\nOh, let it run\nLet it run, let it run\nTill the whole year’s blue\n(whole year’s blue)\n\nOh, let it run\nLet it run, let it run\nPast the screen door\nOh, let it run\nLet it run, let it run\nWe are kept in summer’s core\n(in summer’s core)"}
