The Fall

You were like something from a painting

That shade of gold of the sun

Painted on your silk skin, you pulled me in

Like the moon pulls the tide

It's useless to fight, so I didn't

Just went along for the ride

Oh and girl what a ride

We were flying on a warm breeze

And before we knew that June turned into July

Which flew by, then that August wind came blowin' in

And it blew by, it was a good time

And then it was goodbye

By the time the suntan started to fade

And the shade of the leaves started to change

You were making up your mind on getting gone

We wrote our names right there in the sand

And the waves came crashing down on my plans

I shoulda seen the writing on the wall

And I still think about that summer

'Cause I still ain't over that fall

I got caught up in the thought of

How forever could be, then I started to see

That West Coast look in your eyes

Like you were already somewhere else

And I, I came falling down and now

I'm still falling down

By the time the suntan started to fade

And the shade of the leaves started to change

You were making up your mind on getting gone

We wrote our names right there in the sand

And the waves came crashing down on my plans

I shoulda seen the writing on the wall

And I still think about that summer

'Cause I still ain't over that fall

Yeah the seasons, they move on

But sometimes the feelings don't

By the time the suntan started to fade

And the shade of the leaves started to change

You were making up your mind on getting gone

We wrote our names right there in the sand

And the waves came crashing down on my plans

I shoulda seen the writing on the wall

And I still think about that summer

'Cause I still ain't over that fall

I still think about that summer
