about

(for Tessie, unforgotten)

lyrics

Summer is at its height
And this night will be the shortest of the year
Everything is green
But fifteen is old enough to feel fear
And you and I feel it here
Just yesterday we met
And I forget how many days it’s been since then
But I am leaving for lifetime
I am cut off at the stem
And the plane leaves at ten A.M.

And my friends are all drunk outside but I don’t care
At this party to say goodbye we hide upstairs
On a bed that’s just three feet wide
In the minutes before daylight
We don’t have to act like we’re not scared

We lock our hands, so small and white
While our eyes are dark and filling up with rain
We never kiss or really speak
We can only play that tape again
And again and again and again
Summer is unkind
It’s the time when you forget each other’s names
But I remember our burning tears
And how we felt the same
All the embers and the flame

And the music will sing till dawn
As we gaze and we hold our tongues
Till we’re lit by the loveless sun
And the night fades to dream
Till you’re vanished and I am gone
And they strip this room clean

Tomorrow is just outside, it strides and tears
Through this party to say goodbye, and we cry upstairs
On a bed that’s just three feet wide
Where it feels like the whole world died
But we don’t have to act like we’re not scared
