ON CERTAIN SUNDAYS
IN NOVEMBER
WHEN THE WEATHER
BOTHERS ME
I EMPTY DRAWERS
OF OTHER SUMMERS
WHERE MY SHADOWS
USED TO BE
SHE IS STANDING
BY THE WATER
AS HER SMILE
BEGINS TO CURL
IN THIS OR ANY
OTHER SUMMER
SHE IS SOMETHING
ALL TOGETHER DIFFERENT
NEVER JUST
AN ORDINARY GIRL
AND IN THE EVENINGS
ON LONG ISLAND
WHEN THE COLOURS
START TO FADE
SHE WEARS A
SILLY YELLOW HAT
THAT SOMEONE GAVE HER
WHEN SHE STAYED
I DIDN'T THINK
THAT SHE RETURNED IT
WE LEFT NEW YORK
IN A WHIRL
TIME EXPANDS
AND THEN CONTRACTS
WHEN YOU ARE SPINNING
IN THE GRIPS OF SOMEONE
WHO IS NOT
AN ORDINARY GIRL
AND WHEN YOU SLEEP
YOU FIND YOUR
MOTHER IN THE NIGHT
BUT SHE STAYS
JUST OUT OF SIGHT
SO THERE ISN'T ANY
SWEETNESS IN THE DREAMIN'
AND WHEN YOU WAKE
THE MORNING
COVERS YOU WITH LIGHT
AND IT MAKES YOU
FEEL ALRIGHT
BUT IT'S JUST
THE SAME HARD CANDY
YOU'RE REMEMBERIN' AGAIN
AGAIN
YOU SEND YOUR
LOVER OFF TO CHINA
THEN YOU WAIT
FOR HER TO CALL
YOU PUT YOUR GIRL
UP ON A PEDESTAL
THEN YOU WAIT
FOR HER TO FALL
I PUT MY SUMMERS
BACK IN A LETTER
AND I HIDE IT
FROM THE WORLD
ALL THE REGRETS
YOU CAN'T FORGET
ARE SOMEHOW PRESSED
UPON A PICTURE
IN THE FACE OF SUCH
AN ORDINARY GIRL
AND WHEN YOU SLEEP
YOU FIND YOUR
MOTHER IN THE NIGHT
BUT SHE FADES
JUST OUT OF SIGHT
SO THERE ISN'T ANY
SWEETNESS IN THE DREAMIN'
YEAH, WHEN YOU WAKE
THE MORNING
SHOWERS YOU WITH LIGHT
AND IT MAKES YOU
FEEL ALRIGHT
BUT IT'S JUST
THE SAME HARD CANDY
YOU'RE REMEMBERIN' AGAIN
AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN...
IT'S JUST
THE SAME HARD CANDY
YOU'RE REMEMBERIN' AGAIN
AGAIN, AGAIN, AGAIN...
IT'S JUST
THE SAME HARD CANDY
YOU'RE REMEMBERIN' AGAIN
GO ASK HER
TO COME AROUND
AND SEE ME LATE
AFTER DARK
DON'T ASK ME
TO COME AROUND
THEN WAIT TO SEE
IF THERE'S A SPARK
GO ASK HER
TO COME AROUND
AND SEE ME LATE
AFTER DARK
DON'T ASK ME
TO COME AROUND
THEN MAKE ME WAIT
TO SEE THE SPARK
GO ASK HER
TO COME AROUND
LATER SEE ME
AFTER DARK
DON'T ASK ME
TO COME AROUND
THEN WAIT TO SEE
IF THERE IS A SPARK
GO ASK HER
TO COME AROUND
LATER SEE ME
AFTER DARK
DON'T ASK ME
TO COME AROUND
THEN WAIT TO SEE
IF THERE IS A SPARK
