ends and we won der where we are
And there you go, my friends,
with your boxes in your car
And you both look so young
And last night was hard, you said
And then you cried and went to bed
But today you closed the door and said
"We have to get a move on.
It's just that time of year when we
We push ourselves ahead."
And it was cloudy in the morning And it
And the same things looked different
It's the end of the summer
It's the end of the summer,
When you move to another place
And I feel like the neighbor's
who will never be the same
She walked alone all spring,
They disappeared at night
in green fields of silver corn
And sometime in July she just
forgot that he was leaving
So when the fields were dying,
she held on to his sleeves
She held on to his sleeves
And she doesn't want to let
know what she's up against
The classrooms and the smart girls
It's the end of the summer
It's the en d of the summer
When you hang your flowers up to dry
And I had a dream it blows the
It felt like the first day of school
But I was going to the moon instead
And I walked down the hall
With the notebooks they got for me
My dad led me through the house
My mom drank instant coffee
And I knew that I would crash
But I didn't want to tell them
There are just some moments when
So I raised up my arms and my mother
And there you go, my friends,
with your boxes in your car
And today I passed the high school,
the river, the maple tree
I passed the farms that made it
Through the last days of the cen tury
Again, in this less hazy light
I saw the fields beyond the fields
The fields beyond the fields
