Summer (The First Time) lyrics

Song : Summer (The First Time)
 


It was a hot afternoon,
Last day of
June,
And the sun was a demon,
The clouds
were afraid,
One-ten in the shade,
And the
pavement was steaming.
I told Billy-Ray,
In
his red Chevrolet,
I needed time for some
thinking,
I was just walking by,
When I
looked in her eye,
And I swore it was
winking.

She was 31 and I was 17,
I
knew nothing about love, she knew
everything,
When I saw down beside her on the
front porch swing,
And wondered what the
coming night would bring.

The sun closed
her eyes,
As it climbed in the sky,
And it
started to swelter,
The sweat trickled down
the front of her gown,
And I thought it would
melt her.

She through back her
hair,
Like I wasn't there,
And she sipped
on a julep,
Her shoulders were bare,
And I
tried not to stare,
When I looked at her two
lips.

And when she looked at me,
I
heard her softly say,
I know you're
young,
You don't know what to do or
say,
But stay with me until the sun has gone
away,
And I will chase the boy in you
away.

And then she smiled and we talked
for a while,
And we walked for a mile to the
sea,
We sat on the sand, and the boy took her
hand,
But I saw the sun rise as a
man.

Ten years have gone by,
Since I
looked in her eye,
But the memory
lingers,
I got back in my mind,
To the very
first time,
And feel the touch of her
fingers,

It was a hot afternoon,
Last
day of June,
And the sun was a demon,
The
clouds were afraid,
One-ten in the
shade,
And the pavement was steaming...
