I was half asleep lying there writing this lyric in my head at about 3:30 in the morning. I woke Steve up with this idea and then we went into the living room where there was a little upright piano and finished the song. I wonder where that piano is now? ↗

I have been around for a long, long time. I didn't make it 'til I was older. I went through the period when women were not getting signed, particularly if you were writing songs that were lyrically propelled. ↗

روح روز تابستانی و نفسِ گل سرخی، تابستان اما سپری شده است و موسم گل‌ به آخر رسیده است کجا رفته‌اند؟ که می‌داند، که می‌داند. خون قلب منی و جان آرامشی. قلب من امّا سرد است و جانم به سیاهی در نشسته است. کجایی تو ای یار؟ که می‌داند، که می‌داند. امید سالیان منی و آفتاب برف‌های زمستانم. سال‌ها اما زیر آسمانی ابر اندود به پایان رسیده است. کجا یکدیگر را باز خواهیم یافت؟ که می‌داند، که می‌داند ↗

— Paul Laurence Dunbar
