Song lyrics

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'd left our love
In our summer skin...
