lyrics

kisses of lime
in the summertime
kisses of gin
let the sun shine in
from our borrowed patio
we watched summer come and go

limes from the trees
brine of the seas
our feet black as tar
Sapphires in the yard
we watched the world wander by
as the locusts fell from the sky

blithe as can be
sublime catastrophe
the last day we were young
I kissed bitter quinine off your tongue
worshipping the day
as the money slowly slowly drained away

when you wake up
from a dream
and you describe
the things you’ve seen
they flit away flit away flit away like hummingbirds
that you try to trap in a jar of words
but the vision that was so clear
has just faded and disappeared
before you can start
and all you are
is one morning older

kisses of lime
in the summertime
just one kiss just one kiss of gin
lets the sun shine in
Trying to make the sunset last
As the future slides into the past

that tangerine Topanga sun
it sees everything we’ve done

and it’s a judge serene and calm
as the waves go crashing on

crashing on
