Kamaskera Summer's End Choir

The light held past the hour
Past the bell — past the ridge
We watched it stretch along the stones
We stood and it still held

We saw it — we sang it
We set it down
The testimony of the summer
Witnessed and bound

The grain stood at its height
Every stem a golden crown
The field released what it had stored
And then the season turned around

We saw it — we sang it
We set it down
The testimony of the summer
Witnessed and bound

One degree — the wind moved
One degree — that was all
The shadow came before the dark
And summer let its curtain fall

We saw it
We set it down
The summer is enrolled now
In the record of our sound
