Yesterday (Circa Summer 80 Somethin)

It was undeniably summer And I was certifiably cool With my acid-washed jacket And my stone-washed jeans I rose out of the kiddie pool And you were a walking want-ad You had summer on your side Our front yards faced each other's From across the great divide And the sunbeams cracked like jumper cables I was cranking up the Mellencamp And you were dancing barefoot on a picnic table And damn it, girl Truly god damn it God damn it girl, truly God damn it girl, truly God damn! I still remember every word you said Like I always said I would Since you walked on the water bed Stood right there in my head For good You know you kept some honeysuckle In that special dresser drawer Every spring both knees buckle Both knees buckle and I hit floor I hit the floor, every spring At the hint, at the scent At the thought of that Thing I still remember every word you said Like I always said I would Since you walked on the water bed Stood right there in my head For good The easy way We used to play When there was no such thing As yesterday We threw our two hearts high The first half felt like Flying! I still remember every word you said Like I always said I would Since you walked on the water bed Stood right there in my head For good
