Here Comes The Summer - The Fiery Furnaces

Last day in May, the afternoon: remember?

Black marks off charcoal from the dune: remember?

I thought it wouldn’t be too soon;

we’d wait at least until it’s June

The twenty-ninth of March it rained: remember?

You looked so sad that I explained: remember?

You knew it wouldn’t be too soon;

we’ll have to wait until it’s June

I’ve been waiting since I don’t know when and now it finally seems about to

start

I swear, I swear, that I will do my part

December dark at six o’clock: remember?

The freezing wind gives you a shock: remember?

You knew it wouldn’t be too soon;

we’ll have to wait until it’s June

October damp on down the street: remember?

The sodden leaves stuck to your feet: remember?

You knew it wouldn’t be too soon;

we’ll have to wait until it’s June

I’ve been waiting since I don’t know when and now it finally seems about to

start

I swear, I swear, that I will do my part

July the third we stayed up late: remember?

And thought how long we’d have to wait: remember?

It’ll be so long until it’s soon;

it’ll be so long until it’s June
