[Verse 1]
  GIt's comin' on the end of AuEmgust
AGnother summer's promise is almost gEmone
And though I Cheard some wise man say
That every Gdog will have his day
He never Fmentioned that these dog days get so AmlongD  
[Verse 2]
I don't know Gwhen I realized the dream was oEmver
Well, there was Gno particular hour, no given Emday
You know, it Cdidn't go down in flame
There was no Gfinal scene, no frozen frame
FI just watched it slowly fade aAmwayD  
[Chorus]
And EmI've been waiting in the Gweeds
Waiting for my Amtime to come aCround again and
EmHope is floating on the Gbreeze
Carrying my Amsoul high up aCbove the ground and
EmI've been keepin' to myGself
Knowin' that the Amseasons are Cslowly changing
EmEven though you're with somebody Gelse
He'll never love you Amlike I doC  
[Verse 3]
  GI've been biding time with the crows and sEmparrows
While Gpeacocks prance and strut upon the sEmtage
If finding Clove is just a dance
PrGoximity and chance
You will exFcuse me if I skip the masqueAmradeD  
[Chorus]
And EmI've been waiting in the Gweeds
Waiting for the Amdust to settle Cdown along the
EmBack roads running through the Gfields
Lying on the Amoutskirts of this Clonesome town
And I iEmmagine sunlight in your Ghair
You're at the county Amfair
You're holding Chands and laughing
And Emnow the ferris wheel has Gstopped
You're swinging on the Bmtop
Suspended F#there with him
And Ghe's the darling of the Dchic
The flavor of the Bmweek is F#melting
GDown your pretty summer Ddress
Baby, what a F#mess you're making

[Chorus]
And EmI've been waiting in the Gweeds
Waiting for the Amsummer rain to Cfall upon the
EmWild birds scattering the Gseeds
Answering the Amcalling of the Ctide's eternal Emtune
The phases of the Gmoon
The chambers of the Amheart
The ebb and Cdart of small gray
EmSpiders spinning in the Gdark
In spite of all the Amtimes the web is Ctorn apart
And EmI've been waiting in the Gweeds
Waiting for the Amtime to come aCround again and
EmHope is floating on the Gbreeze
Carrying my Amsoul high up aCbove the ground and

Knowing that the Amseasons are Cslowly changing
EmEven though you're with somebody Gelse

And now the ferris wheel has stopped

You're swinging on the top

Suspended there with him

Waiting for the time to come around again and
