Dm        C         A#
Squeaky swings and tall grass
    Dm        C     A#
The longest shadows ever cast
     Dm      C         A#
The water's warm and children swim
        Dm         C           A#
And we frolicked about in our summer skin

I don't recall a single care
Just greenery and humid air
Then Labor Day came and went
And we shed what was left of our summer skin

On the night you left, I came over
And we peeled the freckles from our shoulders
Our brand new coats were so flushed and pink
And I knew your heart, I couldn't win

'Cause the season's change was a conduit
And we'd left our love in our summer skin
