Summer’s Coming Down - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

You cradled your wounded pride

Like a bird with a broken wing. pulled me aside

You said, "I'm honest, go ahead…

I swear the game’s not gaffed."

I smiled to say I saw right through the act

As nightfall cleared the lot of lights and sounds

The midway dark with looming shapes

Trash blowing on the ground

You put your arm around me

And you led me safely home

Outside my door you said

"You know, I don’t have to go…"

And now your eyes say that the summer’s coming down

I can read the wagons’ movement in the way you hold me now

The lure of other towns is settled deep into your bones

If I can’t be enough for you, then go

The spring stretched long and long

The air still sharp with cold

As the grass grew 'twixt the wheels

I gave in to hope

Clandestinely we met

And fool that I was, I never dreamed

That all your reticence to speak

Might say something

And now your eyes say that the summer’s coming down

I can read the wagons’ movement in the way you hold me now

The lure of other towns is settled deep into your bones

If I can’t be enough for you, then go

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

And now your eyes say that the summer’s coming down

I can read the wagons’ movement in the way you hold me now

The lure of other towns has settled deep into your bones

If I can’t be enough for you, then go

If we can’t be enough for you…
