Then the Sky was so Blue

In the middle of June

You were in Bloom

Brown skin, my first true lover

She was crowned in, the jewels of her mother

Daddy was a gambler, kept a razor in his pocket

The day he went missing, you know she brought me out the closet

Then the sky was so blue

In the middle of June

You were in bloom

I let go of my gloom I walked in to your room

You were in bloom baby

And I can’t feel no heat now, besides us

Everything feels colder, and ooh that broke me in two

Middle of June, You were in Bloom, and I was too

oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh,

uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, (woo-oh)

oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh,

uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, (woo-oh)

Backstreets, we parked by the river.

back seats, smelling like malt liquor.

playing all the classics, too young to get nostalgic.

The day my daddy died, you came and put your arm around me.

Then the sky was so blue

In the middle of June

You were in bloom

I let go of my gloom I walked in to your room

You were in bloom baby

And I can’t feel no heat now, besides us

Everything feels cooler, and who that broke me in two

Middle of June, You were in Bloom, and I was too

oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh,

uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, (woo-oh)

oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh,

uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh, (woo-oh)

And I can’t feel no heat now, besides us

Everything feels cooler, and who that broke me in two

Middle of June, You were in Bloom, and I was too
