Lyrics for Summer Skin

Squeaky swings and tall grass The longest shadows ever cast The waters warm and children swim 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'd left our love in our summer skin
