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
