Summer (the First Time) Lyrics

Summer (the First Time) lyrics

It was a hot afternoon,
Last day of June,
And the sun was a demon,
The
clouds were afraid,
One-ten in the shade,
And the pavement was
steaming.
I told Billy-Ray,
In his red Chevrolet,
I needed time for
some thinking,
I was just walking by,
When I looked in her eye,
And I
swore it was winking.

She was 31 and I was 17,
I knew nothing about
love, she knew everything,
When I saw down beside her on the front porch
swing,
And wondered what the coming night would bring.

The sun closed
her eyes,
As it climbed in the sky,
And it started to swelter,
The
sweat trickled down the front of her gown,
And I thought it would melt
her.

She through back her hair,
Like I wasn't there,
And she
sipped on a julep,
Her shoulders were bare,
And I tried not to
stare,
When I looked at her two lips.

And when she looked at me,
I
heard her softly say,
I know you're young,
You don't know what to do or
say,
But stay with me until the sun has gone away,
And I will chase the
boy in you away.

And then she smiled and we talked for a while,
And
we walked for a mile to the sea,
We sat on the sand, and the boy took her
hand,
But I saw the sun rise as a man.

Ten years have gone
by,
Since I looked in her eye,
But the memory lingers,
I got back in
my mind,
To the very first time,
And feel the touch of her
fingers,

It was a hot afternoon,
Last day of June,
And the sun was
a demon,
The clouds were afraid,
One-ten in the shade,
And the pavement
was steaming...
