lyrics
We vanish every afternoon and no one seems to care.
A left-behind half acre we won’t ever have to share,
A hidden path, a broken fence, a sign that says beware.
Summer in the red field’s almost gone,
Cup of caterpillars, bullet shells, a pile of bones.
August clouds are carriages for royalty in the sky,
And when it rains a rusted Chevrolet keeps us dry,
We gave your dolls a funeral - you had to say goodbye.
Summer in the red field’s almost gone,
Your mother took him back again - you’re scared of going home.
Bruises on your arms because you didn’t do as told,
But if he passes through the gate, the witch will take his soul.
Pennies on the railroad tracks turning into gold.
Summer in the red field’s almost gone,
I lost another tooth - the new one’s growing in all wrong.
Sunset makes me sick - I watch you walk away alone.
