SUMMER SKIN

Squeaky swings and tall grass
 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 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 left our love in our summer skin
