the last rose of summer

before i head to the pool, i just realized that it's the last day of august.

did you achieve your summer goals? i sure didn't. that happened way too fast.

so in honor of the death of summer, here's a beautiful little song from tom waits:
i love the way
the tattered clouds
blow wind across the sky

as summer goes and leaves me
with a tear
in my eye

i'm taking out my winter clothes
my garden knows what is wrong
the petals of my favorite rose
in shadows dark and long

though every year
it's very clear
i should be carrying on

but i can be found
in the garden
singing this song

when the last rose
of summer is gone
