lyrics

The creek swells in August now
Years after the bridge fell down
We wrote our names on the debris
Cops called it graffiti

A rug-burned boy let minnows chew
Dead white skin that clung onto
The soles of his feet

He fell in love as fast as flies
With trees and suns and big green eyes
And apologized but said some things are staggering

Oh my god he whispered in
Her ear her dress lay on the rocks
At the creek she screamed she said
You swore at me

Gone awhile, gone awhile, gone awhile, I’ll be gone

He kissed her and away she ran
Blue sky behind her dress in hand
Oh my god he said aloud he dove into the creek

His body scraped across the stones
The crayfish stirred the creek-bed moaned
Oh so many things he thought are staggering

She came back down and brought the night
The cool smoke smell the fireflies
And apologized
You, she said, you startled me

The creek swells in August now
Years after the bridge fell down
He wades in to his waist
The current takes him in
