In Closing

Do you sometimes hurt for summer
When summer's been gone too long
Have you ever cut off your hair
To be sure that his smell is gone
Do you lock the night out with words that aren't yours
Do you speed around corners and hope that you'll lose control

I once met myself in a garden
Some twenty-one years ago
She looked like the me that i knew
But the eyes were all wrong
I asked for her name and she gave me mine back
And the sound of her laughing was terrible so i've been told

I never knew me anyway
That's why i'm so fond of you
But it's time this thing died
And all promises aside
You've been lovely to write to

Do you lock the night out with words that aren't yours
Do you speed around corners and hope that you'll lose control

I never knew me anyway
That's why i'm so fond of you
But it's time this thing died
And all promises aside
You've been lovely to write to
