Summer Skin

Squeaky swings and tall gra*s 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 peel the freckles from our shoulders Our brand new coats so flushed in 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
