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 into 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
It was cloudy in the morning
And it rained as you drove
away
The same things look 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 a 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 and 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 onto his sleeves
She held onto 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 you’re family makes sense
When it just
makes 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 summer
It’s the end of 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,
and the maple tree
I passed the farms that minute
Through the last days of the
century
And I knew that I was gonna learn again
Again, in this last hazy light
I saw
the fields beyond the fields
The fields beyond the fields
And the colors are much
brighter now
Its like they really want to tell the truth
Give our testimony to
The
end of the summer
It’s the end of the summer
We can spend the light to go | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
