Summer Rain

did i? yes i thought your name, your body line, your auburn mane

a forgotten half remembered game that's lost in time I

loved you once i love you still though it seems we both have had our fill

of things that linger on until we can't look away

this place has everything you want but nothing that you need

and it's hard to leave

what we can't reveal they already see

we can't see ourselves from the outside in

looking back at where we've been

and grinning at the mess we're in when we could cry

had you forgotten i'm a man, a rebel on his knees

smart enough to love you but afraid of what it means?

enough to want to hide all the things he had inside

where none can see

what we don't show they already see

good time boys and print through girls

thin cotton dresses clinging, dancing and singing

in the summer rain

come on in the water's fine reminds me of the time

i skinny dipped with Madeline and didn't take her home that night

and it's not that i don't care no more

just as we live our values change

one more thing to re-arrange until it fits
