left behind when summer's over
in quiet lineups by the lake
cheating hearts descend like clouds of falling leaves
to lie and rot and wait for rain
summer heat will you drain your blood from me
into lawns and limpid pools where your kiss was young and cruel
cut by cut and play by play it will always be this way
summer love
if i could only hold your heart
and never beat again
someone's breath against your shoulder
someone's voice to say your name
just as long as someone's there to break your fall
longer shadows shorter days
if i could only hold your heart
i'd never beat again
