Squeaky Swings And Tall Grass
The Longest Shadows Ever Cast
The Water's Warm And Children Swim
And We Frolicked About In Our Summer Skin
I Don't Recall A Single Care
Just Greenery And Humid Air
Then Labor Day Came And Went
And We Shed What Was Left Of Our Summer Skin
On The Night You Left I Came Over
And We Peeled The Freckles From Our Shoulders
Our Brand New Coats So Flushed And Pink
And I Knew Your Heart I Couldn't Win
Cause The Seasons Change Was A Conduit
And We Left Our Love In Our Summer Skin
