Another summer slipped away without me noticing   At least you had the decency to say “I’ll see you later”    The streets are wider here   I watched you disappear   Such a simple thing became so complicated      And I watched my shadow shorten   Ankle-deep in autumn      Remember when I said you were too young   To start a story with “Remember when…”?   Well that was then, and this is appalling   But in the dappled sunshine   Underneath the clothesline   I spent this afternoon nostalgic for this morning      From certain angles   The skyline untangles      And your loyalties are divided   Between digital and vinyl   But I’m biding time   Until the cassingle revival   Because you promised when it happens   You’ll return
