On certain Sundays in November |
| [00:17.40] |
When the weather bothers me |
| [00:20.21] |
I empty drawers of other summers |
| [00:23.01] |
Where my shadows used to be |
| [00:26.40] |
She is standing by the water |
| [00:29.80] |
As her smile begins to curl |
| [00:33.00] |
In this or any other summer |
| [00:36.21] |
She is something altogether different |
| [00:39.65] |
Never just an ordinary girl |
| [00:44.67] |
|
| [00:49.26] |
And in the evenings on Long Island |
| [00:53.40] |
When the colors start to fade |
| [00:56.61] |
She wears a silly yellow hat |
| [00:59.91] |
That someone gave her when she stayed |
| [01:02.87] |
I didn't think that she returned it |
| [01:05.93] |
We left New York in a whirl |
| [01:09.12] |
Time expands and then contracts |
| [01:12.24] |
When you are spinning |
| [01:14.14] |
In the grips of someone |
| [01:16.85] |
Who is not an ordinary girl |
| [01:20.59] |
When you sleep |
| [01:21.75] |
You find your mother in the night |
| [01:25.18] |
But she stays just out of sight |
| [01:28.20] |
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming |
| [01:34.03] |
|
| [01:35.07] |
And when you wake |
| [01:37.62] |
the morning covers you with light |
| [01:41.12] |
And it makes you feel alright |
| [01:44.23] |
But it's just the same hard candy |
| [01:47.81] |
You're remembering again |
| [01:51.08] |
|
| [01:55.90] |
You send your lover off to China |
| [02:00.06] |
Then you wait for her to call |
| [02:03.00] |
You put your girl up on a pedestal |
| [02:06.43] |
Then you wait for her to fall |
| [02:09.29] |
I put my summers back in a letter |
| [02:12.61] |
And I hide it from the world |
| [02:15.63] |
All the regrets you can't forget |
| [02:18.55] |
Are somehow pressed upon a picture |
| [02:22.35] |
In the face of such an ordinary girl |
| [02:26.72] |
When you sleep |
| [02:28.48] |
You find your mother in the night |
| [02:31.59] |
But she fades just out of sight |
| [02:34.67] |
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming |
| [02:40.38] |
|
| [02:41.79] |
And when you wake |
| [02:44.13] |
the morning showers you with light |
| [02:47.50] |
And it makes you feel alright |
| [02:50.49] |
But it's just the same hard candy |
| [02:53.95] |
You're remembering again |
| [02:56.82] |
Again, again, again, again |
| [03:01.79] |
It's just the same hard candy |
| [03:04.63] |
You're remembering again |
| [03:07.59] |
Again, again again, again |
| [03:12.04] |
And it's just the same hard candy |
| [03:15.83] |
You're remembering again |
| [03:18.98] |
|
| [03:33.55] |
Go ask her to come around |
| [03:37.92] |
And see me late after dark |
| [03:40.73] |
Don't ask me to come around |
| [03:44.05] |
Then wait to if there's a spark |
| [03:46.79] |
Go ask her to come around |
| [03:50.18] |
And see me late after dark |
| [03:53.08] |
Don't ask me to come around |
| [03:56.45] |
Then make me wait to see the spark |
| [03:59.44] |
Go ask her to come around |
| [04:02.85] |
Late and see me after dark |
| [04:05.81] |
Don't ask me to come around |
| [04:09.12] |
Then wait to see if there is a spark |
| [04:12.61] |
Go ask her to come around |
| [04:15.55] |
And see me late after dark |
| [04:18.90] |
Don't ask me to come around |
| [04:21.01] |
Then make me wait to see the spark |
