lyrics by Morgan Rose Stewart We left our hearts in the parking lot And there they last thumped With undone ribbons Brillant as rubies The ones we've forged since are better They thrum in our chests like metal birds Clanking and Singing Oh, here comes the summer And I'll watch purple crepe myrtles Churn like snow when it thunders Just what I expect Not what I expect to see And though I've been wrong unable To assemble my shape with white pebble Or storied gravel Or find concrete that cracks the way you smile I go long, I step bad next to you For a while We tromp for miles in the Delta heat We trust our feet they will not stop won't miss a beat We walk far, we walk far Past the old schools and parked cars We'll never go inside! We'll never go inside! You broke through those lots of rocks like a weed And tugged me along, sprout tugged from the seed Spent dreams sent down the gutter stream Baby on a bed of reeds And starless brown skies clear up to blue And the crows do circle around your roof There is a bridge, bus stop, a train for you Oh, here comes the summer And I'll watch purple crepe myrtles Churn like snow when it thunders Just what I expect Not what I expect to see You broke through those lots of rocks like a weed And tugged me along, sprout tugged from the seed Spent dreams sent down the gutter stream Baby on a bed of reeds And starless brown skies clear up to blue And the crows do circle around your roof There is a bridge, bus stop, a train for you - Morgan Rose Stewart
