Summer Skin

Summer solstice, looks like rain

Locking eyes on the longest day

Come together then move away

Summer solstice, looks like rain

Sweat bitter, sweet grass skin

Rush of blood when it begins

Feels like fire from way back when

In my periphery I can see the end

You're only mine like a summer night

Short and sweet and choking on the heat

I'm in my summer skin

Just for a while

The autumn covets and is waiting in the wings

Fireflies in mid-July

Gone in an instant

Don't you love the things you know will soon expire

Floating down the Delaware

Sun so hot but I don't care

I'll still smell your citrus hair

When we look back in 30 years

You're only mine like a summer night

Short and sweet and choking on the heat

I'm in my summer skin

Just for a while

The autumn covets and is waiting in the wings

Fireflies in mid-July

Gone in an instant

Don't you love the things you know will soon expire

I'm in my summer skin

Just for a while

Sticking to the black-top

Trying to run but time's stopped

The garden falls to sweet rot

The ending's all that we got
