Summer's been delayed
But I don't want to think about it
In the shade of a Guar Gum tree
1963
Devils by the lake were spotted
1963

Way across the pond
European trade commissions

Take me to your house

And show me to all your family
I don't care about
The fool that it makes me seem
'Cause I know that you're 17
And I'm just an aging dandy
The world is light and dark

She was married to the Bosphorus
She threw her ring in then she blew a kiss
To the Ottomans and Byzantines
Lying beneath the sea

She wore a pink and yellow summer dress

Near a star called Sun
It was there that my mom came undone
Sounds of a summer parade
90.5 in the shade

She drifted off on the 4th of July
A holiday look in her eyes
