Raspberry Season Waltz

from Terrarium by Paul Kotheimer

/

lyrics

When spring turns to June
and it's raspberry season,
we'll be out in the yard
for no particular reason:
--"They're coming on in the alley
and all along the train track"
--"Got a pint from the side yard
and almost a quart from out back."

When it's raspberry season,
all the kids that you meet
got berry juice on their faces
and purple on the soles of their feet.
And all the folks with their mowers
can keep a-cuttin' their grass.
I'll be out in the yard,
working nowhere as hard,
with raspberry stains on my ass.

Well, sure as spring turns to June,
soon enough comes July,
chasing after the ice cream truck
or the flickering of the firefly.
We got a good sturdy freezer
full of raspberries galore.
And every night we will spoon
by the light of the moon,
just like for seventeen summers before.
