Lyrics for End Of The Summer by Dar Williams:

| | Album: | End Of The Summer | | Track: | End Of The Summer | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 92 | | | | Lyrics: | The summer ends and we wonder where we are
And there you go, my friends, with your boxes in
your car
And you both look so young
And last night was hard, you said
You packed up
every room
And then you cried and went to bed
But today you closed the door and
said
"We have to get a move on.
It's just that time of year when we push ourselves
ahead,
We push ourselves ahead."
And it was cloudy in the morning
And it rained
as you drove away
And the same things looked different
It's the end of the
summer
It's the end of the summer,
When you move to another place
And I feel
like the neighbor's girl who will never be the same
She walked alone all spring,
She had a
boyfriend when the summer came
And he gave her flowers in a lightning storm
They
disappeared at night in green fields of silver corn
And sometime in July she just forgot that
he was leaving
So when the fields were dying, she held on to his sleeves
She held on to
his sleeves
And she doesn't want to let go
'Cause she won't know what she's up
against
The classrooms and the smart girls
It's the end of the summer
It's the end of
the summer
When you hang your flowers up to dry
And I had a dream it blows the
autumn through my head
It felt like the first day of school
But I was going to the moon
instead
And I walked down the hall
With the notebooks they got for me
My dad led me
through the house
My mom drank instant coffee
And I knew that I would crash
But I
didn't want to tell them
There are just some moments when your family makes sense
They
just make sense
So I raised up my arms and my mother put the sweater on
We walked
out on the dark and frozen grass
The end of the summer
It's the end of the
summer
When you send your children to the moon
The summer ends and we wonder who we
are
And there you go, my friends, with your boxes in your car
And today I passed the high
school, the river, the maple tree
I passed the farms that made it
Through the last days of
the century
And I knew that I was going to learn again
Again, in this less hazy
light
I saw the fields beyond the fields
The fields beyond the fields
And the
colors are much brighter now
It's like they really want to tell the truth
We give our
testimony to the end of the summer
It's the end of the summer,
You can spin the light to
