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… |
