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
