Left behind when summer's over in quiet lineups by the lake cheating hearts descend like clouds of falling leaves to lie and rot and wait for rain summer heat will you drain your blood from me into lawns and limpid pools where your kiss was young and cruel cut by cut and play by play it will always be this way summer love if i could only hold your heart and never beat again someone's breath against your shoulder someone's voice to say your name just as long as someone's there to break your fall longer shadows shorter days if i could only hold your heart i'd never beat again
