Fields

August night swelters, roll back the covers
I remember a long lost summer
When you and I were a whole lot better friends
In sky clad fields we came together
Hard to hold in moonlit heather
Get off me, boy, you're breaking my back again

And a mouthful of broken words
Was all I had and all she heard
As the sun set down and disappeared
Into the haziest sunset of the year

So we drove for days and talked about nothing
As the fields rolled by, an American discussion
Do you remember when?
Do you recall the place that you're from?
Who do you like, and who do you love?
Who do you hate, and who's your favorite band?

And a mouthful of broken words
Was all I had and all she heard
As the sun set down and disappeared
Into the haziest sunset of the year

Isn't it weird how things can change in a year and some?
You look so strange
And you don't look at me half as dear
As you did sometime late last year

Goodbye
Bye
Bye
