Garden Snake

Everyday of summer, same as it’s always been

Roses in the kitchen from the backyard garden

Something’s creepin’, feeling like a kid again

I’m getting taller while the days get longer

Under the goal post we found snake skin

Boys chased us with it, they said they killed it

Garden of Eden, sweet temptation

Anything to fit in, somehow I miss it

I miss you, summer’s blue, summer’s green

I miss me, summer’s blue, summer’s green

Everyday of summer, I cry when the curtains close

Blue night slumber, I left my lover

To find a piece of who I used to be

When I was younger, I crave that hunger

So I grew tomatoes and stalks of broccoli

Who says to eat it I need company

Outdoor dining, saw something made me shake

Just myself and a garden snake

I miss you, summer’s blue, summer’s green

I miss me, summer’s blue, summer’s green

I miss you, summer’s blue, summer’s green

I miss me, summer’s blue

Summer’s blue
