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 pale And I knew your heart I couldn't win Cause the season's change was a conduit And we'd left our love in our summer skin Cause the seasons change was a conduit And we left our love in our summer skin
