THE SUN IS NEARLY GONE
AND THE STREET IS TINTED BLUE
I CAN EVEN SEE A FAINT MOON
BUT ONLY A CRESCENT
MOST PEOPLE ARE FINISHED EATING
BUT IT IS THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER
AND THE SKY IS STILL LIGHT ENOUGH
SOME PEOPLE ARE STILL OUT
BUT NOT MANY
SHE IS THOUGH
EVERYONE KNOWS HER
AND SHE KNOWS EVERYONE
BUT WE BARELY KNOW EACHOTHER
BUT THAT'S MY FAULT
BUT DOESN'T SHE LOOK SWEET
SHE HAS DARK HAIR CUT SHORT
BUT IT'S STILL NICE Y'KNOW
IT'S STILL WARM ENOUGH
FOR HER TO WEAR THOSE SHORTS
AND IT'S A LITTLE HOT FOR A DENIM JACKET
SHE'S BRIGHT ABOUT THOSE THINGS
ABOUT ANYTHING REALLY
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING
SHE'S A BRIGHT GIRL
SHE HAS ALOT OF ENERGY SHE DOES
BUT SHE ISN'T HARD
IN FACT SHE'S PRETTY SOFT
THAT'S A NICE THING ABOUT HER
BUT IT'S GETTING DARK NOW
AND IT'S COOL NOW
WE'D BEST GO IN
OR CATCH OUR DEATH OF COLD
