When once we lived the juicy life
the summer baked
the autumn fades
you pirate you
to steal away with me
I remember well

but I stopped by anyway
now you’re getting hazy
falling far into a film
I guess I’d better move along
leave you to your private realm
I recall your first kisses
predawn imagination
is all that this is
