Dusk and Summer (Re-Record / Original Lyrics)

Lyrics

She smiled in a big way, the way a girl like that smiles When the world is hers and she held my eyes Out in the breezeway Down by the shore in the lazy summer And she pulled me in And she bit my lip and she made me hers She looked deep into me as we laid together Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer But I've already lost But I've already lost But I've already lost When I only had barely enough to hang on And she combed my hair and she kissed my teeth And she made me better than I'd been before She told me bad things I wished I could change in the lazy summer And she told me, laughing down to her core So she would not cry as she lay in my lap She said, "Nobody here can live forever Quiet in the grasp of dusk and summer" But I've already lost But I've already lost But I've already lost When I only had barely enough to hang on She said, "No one is alone the way you are alone" And I held her looser than I would have If I ever could have known Some things tie my life together And slender threads And things to treasure Days like that should last and last and last But I've already lost But I've already lost But I've already lost But I've already lost But I've already lost But I've already lost When I only had barely enough to hang on Hang on, hang on, hang on
