It's a familiar feeling revisited
the time of year
the sultry summer heat
the sound of your heart pounding in your ears
and your past waving as it walks out the door
no one calls
well, a few do,
and that helps.
And every day of your life
you can go back there
and remember
but every year without fail
it comes back to get you
and puts your heart in a half-nelson for a few days.
Sing dry,
slow hymnals
and wash the oil from your hair
For someone so strong, it appears
you're weakened beyond repair.
