lyrics

In summertime, in fields we’d lay
And run through those never ending days

Those distant lights hung in the air
The more we stared, more stars appeared
Those fireflies, they seemed like sparks
When your mother yelled, “It’s getting dark”

You hid from her between the trees
You kissed my cheek

Your father left one chilly morn
You told me you’d like to be alone
Your mother sang Amazing Grace
All dressed in black, you hid your face

I could not find the words to say
On that September day

Next summer you were sent away
When you came back, you weren’t the same
Your smile dim, and your eyes were dark
You talked of God and the fear that’s in your heart

You cut your hair on my kitchen floor
You seemed so sure
