Don’t Let It Be
Copyright © 2007 David McCann All Rights Reserved

Don’t let the Summer build you up
With folding chairs and buttercups
Don’t let the sunlight cloud your mind
Because of all the things that shine
Don’t let the bees between the flowers
Buzz in your brainpan after hours
Don’t let the moonlight moths hold sway
Over your senses through the day.

So How You going to feel at this time of year?
Tell me How You going to deal with this time of year?

Don’t let the Autumn chill your brain
With driving wind and howling rain
Don’t let the season’s soggy mists
Beat on your mind with foggy fists.
Don’t let the smell of coal-fire cold
Bring back the memories of old
Don’t let the shooting stars leave tracks
Like whiplash scars upon your back.

So How…

Don’t let it be

Don’t let the Winter bring you down
Beneath the snow upon the ground
Don’t let the festive spirits feed
Upon your pessimistic need
Don’t let Jack Frost inside your dreams
He’s not as jolly as he seems
Don’t let the flash of Northern lights
Keep you awake on frosty nights

So How….

Don’t let the Spring cast bawdy spells
Over your body’s fragile cells
Don’t let the mayfly take control
Over your sentimental soul
Don’t let the flame of Beltane fires
Rekindle long time dead desire.
Don’t let the cuckoo and the dove
Lead you so lightly into love.

So How…

Don’t let it be

Don’t let the Summer build you up
With folding chairs and buttercups
Don’t let the Autumn chill your brain
With driving wind and howling rain
Don’t let the Winter bring you down
Beneath the snow upon the ground
Don’t let the Spring
cast bawdy spells
Over
your
body’s
fragile
cells

Don’t let it be
