Hard Candy |
| On certain Sundays in November |
| When the weather bothers me |
| I empty drawers of other summers |
| Where my shadows used to be |
| And she is standing by the water |
| As her smile begins to curl |
| In this or any other summer |
| She is something altogether different |
| Never just an ordinary girl |
| And in the evenings on Long Island |
| When the colors start to fade |
| She wears a silly yellow hat |
| That someone gave her when she stayed |
| I didn’t think that she returned it |
| We left New York in a whirl |
| Time expands and then contracts |
| When you are spinning in the grips of someone |
| Who is not an ordinary girl |
| And when you sleep |
| You find your mother in the night |
| But she stays just out of sight |
| So there isn’t any sweetness in the dreaming |
| And when you wake |
| The morning covers you with light |
| And it makes you feel alright |
| But it’s just the same hard candy |
| You’re remembering again |
| You send your lover off to China |
| Then you wait for her to call |
| You put your girl up on a pedestal |
| Then you wait for her to fall |
| I put my summers back in a letter |
| And I hide it from the world |
| All the regrets you can’t forget |
| Are somehow pressed upon a picture |
| In the face of such an ordinary girl |
| And when you sleep |
| You find your mother in the night |
| But she fades just out of sight |
| So there isn’t any sweetness in the dreaming |
| And when you wake |
| The morning showers you with light |
| And it makes you feel all right |
| But it’s just the same hard candy |
| You’re remembering again |
| Again, again, again, again |
| And it’s just the same hard candy |
| You’re remembering again |
| Again, again, again, again |
| And it’s just the same hard candy |
| You’re remembering again |
| Go ask her to come around |
| And see me late after dark |
| Don’t ask me to come around |
| Then wait to see if there’s a spark |
| Go ask her to come around |
| And see me late after dark |
| Don’t ask me to come around |
| Then make me wait to see the spark |
| Go ask her to come around |
| Late and see me after dark |
| Don’t ask me to come around |
| Then wait to if there is a spark |
| Go ask her to come around |
| Late and see me late after dark |
| Don’t ask me… |
