Porgy's Lament

from Fingers in my Pocket by Robin Auld

lyrics

Well it was a black day, the day you came over the hill
and it was a black day, oh I feel it still
Hair of gold, against a blue sky
my time is done for all that you deny.
Come the summertime, you’ll be on my mind
on my mind.
I was on the shore, he was coming out
Looked him in the eye, saw there was no doubt
It was dirty lie that you told him true
on the other side, he’ll wait for you
Come the summertime, you’ll be on my mind
on my mind.
See the ragged crow in the winter sky
feel the cold wind blow, see you in my mind’s eye
it was dirty lie, that you told me true
On the other side I’ll wait for you
Come the summertime, you’ll be on my mind
on my mind.
