Story behind the song
Just another sad song about a love that fades as summertime draws to a close.
Lyrics
At the end of a cool summer,
When the sun hadn’t kept its word,
We lay by the lake alone,
The wind was all we heard.
“Looks like a storm,” you said
With the trace of a bitter smile
“I know what you mean,” I said
“But let’s stick around a while”
The coffee we’d brought with us
Had long since gone stale and cold,
Our hearts didn’t keep us warm
They’d suddenly gotten old.
What can we talk about
When there’s nothing left to say
Let cigarettes speak for us,
We’ll exhale the night away.
We lay there motionless
Both scared of what this meant
We watched the waves as they
Danced their flow and ebb
“It’s like us, don’t you think?”
You asked with that bitterness.
I couldn’t say anything,
We’re not making progress.
I can’t help but thinking that
This might be a natural end
Have we run out of steam at last,
Well, I guess that all depends
On what we want right now
Are our desires separate
I can’t speak for you, but then
That’s never happened yet.
I felt the first drop as it
Landed on my forehead
You’re not wearing much tonight
You’ll probably catch your death
You’ve always loved thunderstorms
And the smell of the summer air
And when lightning lights your face
Like the smile that isn’t there.
But now the rain betrays our trust
And our luck’s run too many miles
It’s dumping down sheets on us
And weighing down our denial.
Buckets of rain bring our
Night to a sudden close,
We run to my car and huddle
In sopping wet clothes,
The heater is working hard
But it’s not doing us much good
We’ve lost the warmth in our
Hearts, that’s understood
As I drive you home tonight
And the sky is thunderous
We’re shivering and sundering
The night, the summer and us.
