My First Summer

Please picture meIn the treesI hit my peak at seven feetIn the swingOver the creekI was too scared to jump inBut I, I was high in the skyWith Pennsylvania under meAre there still beautiful things?Sweet tea in the summerCross your heart, won't tell no otherAnd though I can't recall your faceI still got love for youYour braids like a patternLove you to the moon and to SaturnPassed down like folk songsThe love lasts so longAnd I've been meaning to tell youI think your house is hauntedYour dad is always mad and that must be whyAnd I think you should come live withMe and we can be piratesThen you won't have to cryOr hide in the closetAnd just like a folk songOur love will be passed onPlease picture meIn the weedsBefore I learned civilityI used to scream ferociouslyAny time I wantedI, ISweet tea in the summerCross my heart, won't tell no otherAnd though I can't recall your faceI still got love for youPack your dolls and a sweaterWe'll move to India foreverPassed down like folk songsOur love lasts so long
