Tonight it's raining and the mountains are misty, reminding me of wintertime Strange that it's late spring and the firewood is burning, strange that it's spring and that In a hotel room across the ocean, I'm not tossing and turning
On the end table, the same old vase, filled with oleanders and sweet peas And there's my boxing encyclopedia from the 1950s, and I just read the old records of Tiger Flowers And Willie Ritchie
And yesterday while I was cutting my lawn, I stumbled on a patch of lemon balm I thought it might be mint, but you told me I was wrong You sniffed it with caution and said that you were sure it was lemon balm

The cat, she's asleep, with her there's few surprises And I've just opened The Sun Also Rises Lost in a world of trout fishing in Basque County, Spain Last time I was in Spain it was much like here Mountainous, mystical, and pouring rain

While taking photos of flowers recently, on the side of the road A girl with three guys yelled, "Mark, I love your band!" I asked her which one of them was her ex Which was her new boyfriend, and which one of them would be her future, rest of her life man?
Mike said to Robert, "Come on, say something ironical!" And that planted a seed as to why, toward them, I was comical To my question, the four of them devilishly grinned I said, "Nice to meet you all, but I gotta leave, my head is spinning."
Spinning with what one of the young men said I said, "I'm middle-aged, and your lives are just beginning And I remember when I was young like you and everything seemed so nifty." He said, "Don't be so down on yourself, you're the coolest musician we know who's in their fifties!"
Tonight the rain's falling, the sound of the woodburning stove brings me calm And tonight and all day is over me, I refuse to be fond To you and I, this night only belongs I'm at peace drinking water and reading and chewing on lemon balm

Some guys died young in Vietnam from napalm Some may die happy after eating dinner in Milan Some will go out fighting while others may go out without a qualm When I die, I hope it's a long way away and that I'm next to you, where I belong And that in my system they found the delicious dishes Made with lemongrass, garlic, chilis, and fish sauces And I'll bet, in my system, they find traces of my calming lemon balm
