Hard Candy

歌詞

On certain Sundays in November When the weather bothers me I empty drawers of other summers Where my shadows used to be She is standing by the water As her smile begins to curl In this or any other summer She is something all together different Never just an ordinary girl And in the evenings on Long Island When the colors start to fade She wears a silly yellow hat That someone gave her when she stayed I didn't think that she returned it We left New York in a whirl Time expands and then contracts When you are spinning in the grips of someone Who is not an ordinary girl And when you sleep You find your mother in the night But she stays just out of sight So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming And when you wake the morning covers you with light And it makes you feel alright But it's just the same hard candy You're remembering again You send your lover off to China And you wait for her to call You put your girl up on a pedestal Then you wait for her to fall I put my summers back in a letter And I hide it from the world All the regrets you can't forget Are somehow pressed upon a picture In the face of such an ordinary girl And when you sleep You find your mother in the night But she fades just out of sight So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming And when you wake the morning showers you with light And it makes you feel alright But it's just the same hard candy You're remembering again, again, again, again And it's just the same hard candy You're remembering again, again, again, again And it's just the same hard candy You're remembering again Go ask her to come around And see me late, after dark Don't ask me to come around Then wait to see if there's a spark Go ask her to come around And see me late, after dark Don't ask me to come around Then we wait to see if there's a spark Go ask her to come around And see me late, after dark Don't ask me to come around Then wait to see if there's a spark Go ask her to come around And see me late, after dark Don't ask me
