From the recording Winter's Out
Lyrics
The rain made the lake cold
Her soft skin, sunned and dry
She whispered in soft tones,
“The myth is stronger than the lie.”
The boat’s in the deep cove
Stuck between the crippled pines
She left me in mid-June
With summer on the verge of rise
You’re gonna make me sad
When it’s over
I’ll never be the same
Please stay baby, but it’s too late
I followed her closely
But kept clean, out of sight
I heard through the cottage (thin) walls
Voices on the porch at night
I saw from the shadows
His hands on her soft skin
I knew at the moment
I had to have her back again
You’re gonna make me sad
When it’s over
I’ll never be the same
Please stay baby, but it’s too late
Fireflies in the midnight sun
My bare feet on the warm pavement
In the streetlight’s glow
Deep in summer’s throes
She came to the screen door
Her hair in a towel
I kept my composure
Until she looked me in the eye
I cried like a damned fool
My knees were buckled in
But when she reached for me,
I realized I had change within
The summer passed so slowly
But I came to realize
Sometimes it’s best to be alone
