lyrics

Back then the sun was an angry dream
The drone of downtown's black soundtrack of steam
And you with your hair cut close
Like a martyr in the martyr's favorite pose

Back then we both were more corporeal
More real, I think, than the things we claimed to feel
The terms were the terms I trusted
The ash in ash, the dustiness of dust

And the summer spoke your body like a rhyme
"Love me in the summertime, the summertime
The summer, summertime..."

By now you see how the restless, wretched souls of men
Become the butchers of their bodies
But back then you were cursed with the Christian grief
And I longed to set your perfect flesh free

Maybe these days you'd understand
How the years decrease both supply and demand
Even our Lamb of loss
Became holiest as bread and wine and cross

And the summer spoke your body like a rhyme
"Love me in the summertime, the summertime
The summer..."

And sometimes this body speaks that summer like a rhyme
"Love me in the summertime, the summertime
The summer, sometime..."
