lyrics

0504OA17

I thought I heard a rustle in the woods.
We were swimming in the quarry beneath a lime half-moon.
I called out to the shore, “Julia is that you?”

But all I got in answer
Was August wind through poplar leaves
And crickets quiet murmuring
And something somewhere out there in the trees.

And then the sound of laughter near the creek;
Jen and Emma with a bottle stolen from their Mama’s place.
I waved and called out, “Over here! The water’s great.”

Maybe because the moon was bright
I thought I ought to look away
The sisters pulled their jean shorts off
And joined me in the lake.

Then Julia came riding on her bike,
She said, “Jon gave us cigs and licorice but he works late tonight.”
She took a pull of whiskey and dove in too

We swam beneath the starlight
And fireflies lit recklessly
We teased Jen about her boyfriend
I said, “There’s no guy at Odena High for me.”

I thought I heard a rustle in the woods.
And there behind the girls in the undergrowth
A green-eyed doe was stumbling through the brush

Before I could exclaim
A coyote howled mournfully
The injured doe limbed away
Before any of my friends could see it
