Summer

All these summers I watch pass through
Clear to autumn skies, I know why
The magic of a moment is so carefully described
And why love carries through

I found the center to your softness
As a monolith, grown to give
Reprieve from all the remedies that ate us to the rind
And kept us so unglued

I want it to be you
Arms open as the days disintegrate
And my angel I’ll assume
Surrender to your silence

All the memories I’ve mourned to
Hold my hallows tight, send my sights
From monument to muscle when disaster could de-light
All that carries through

All these summers I watch pass through
Clear to autumn skies, I know why
The answer to an everything I never could describe
Has always been untrue

I want it to be you
Arms open as the days disintegrate
And my angel I’ll assume
Surrender to your silence
