Fiery Furnaces - Here Comes The Summer

Last day in May the afternoon

Remember

Black marks of charcoal from the dune

Remember

I thought it wouldn't be too soon

We'll wait at least until it's June



The twenty-ninth of March it rained

Remember

You'd look so sad that I explain

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
