lyrics

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. 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 has settled deep into your bones. If I can’t be enough for you, then go. If I can’t be enough for you, then go. If we can’t be enough for you…
