Poor ole surrender Mimosa
Finally burnt out by the sun
I feel pretty burnt out myself
When the long, hot summer is done
Summertime's long been my favorite
Now I can’t grab it no more
Can’t find no time for a fish on the line
Or that swing in the old Sycamore
I'm in such a hurry now
It starts to worry me
Stop and smell the roses?
Baby, I can’t hardly see
No, I ain't forgotten just how good it all can be
But I've got so much responsibility
Got so much responsibility
Baby, you know how I'm working
Sorry I'm busy so much
Sorry those days when the world went our way
Are so hard to return to and to touch
Maybe our future looks brighter
Maybe our ship will come in
Maybe these years and these mule train careers
Will be things we won't think about then
But I'm in such a hurry now
It start to worry me
Stop and smell the roses?
Baby I can’t hardly see
No, I ain't forgotten just how good it all can be
But I've got so much responsibility
Got so much responsibility
Competition's heavy on a hard line wrecking crew
The good ones never leave
And still there's always someone new
Pressure comes down hard up on a top notch rivet team
We don't get time to pace ourselves
We don't stand around and dream
Poor ole surrender Mimosa
Finally burnt out by the heat
I feel pretty burnt out myself
When I make that ole turn down our street
Summertime's long been my favorite
Now it's ole autumn I love
Summertime fun on some beach in the sun
Is not something I'm seeing much of
I'm in such a hurry now
It starts to worry me
Stop and smell the roses?
Baby, I can’t hardly see
No, I ain't forgotten just how good it all can be
But I've got so much responsibility
Got so much responsibility
Got so much responsibility
Yeah

Little Stevie Orbit !!! You’ve trended my life mate. Many thanks for your sweet classic music. This is a perfect song my friends!!!
Total rip off "When Dove's Cry" by Prince. Thought it was a remake at first OMG.
'When Doves Cry' ? 
This guy has such a distinctive voice. I can still recognize it immediately even after 25 years or so.
The man is a genius.
It's too about his ego being *way* bigger than his talent.

Don't like his voice or Geddy's all that much ; yet I can't say I hear any similarity.

Nice choice - great CD 
Simple, elegant music...and the same genuine stuff for 25 years.
