On certain Sundays in November    When the weather bothers me    I empty drawers of other summers    Where my shadows used to be    She is standing by the water    As her smile begins to curl    In this or any other summer    She is something all together different    Never just an ordinary girl      And in the evenings on Long Island    When the colors start to fade    She wears a silly yellow hat    That someone gave her when she stayed    I didn't think that she returned it    We left New York in a whirl    Time expands and then contracts    When you are spinning in the grip of someone    Who is not an ordinary girl      And when you sleep    You find your mother in the night    But she stays just out of sight    So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming   And when you wake the morning covers you with light    And it makes you feel alright    But it's just the same hard candy    You're remembering again      You send your lover off to China    And you wait for her to call    You put your girl up on a pedestal    Then you wait for her to fall      I put my summers back in a letter    And I hide it from the world    All the regrets you can't forget    Are somehow pressed upon a picture    In the face of such an ordinary girl      And when you sleep    You find your mother in the night    But she fades just out of sight    So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming   And when you wake   the morning showers you with light   And it makes you feel alright    But it's just the same hard candy    You're remembering again       And it's just the same hard candy    You're remembering again      Go ask her to come around    And see me late after dark    Don't ask me to come around    Then wait to see if there's a spark
