[Verse 1] The screen door sticks again Salt on your bare feet You laughed with that peach can Drippin' on the seat The field was all gold dust The river ran thin I knew that season Was slippin' on in [Pre-Chorus] And the crickets kept count As the sky turned slow You said "stay a little longer" I said "I don't know" [Chorus] End of summer, hold me now End of summer, don't fade out (hold me now) We were fire on the porch steps End of summer, take me down [Verse 2] Your radio crackled From the glove box low We drove past the fairground Where the last rides glow Your hair in the window Like wheat in the wind I kept that young feeling Right there in my skin [Pre-Chorus] And the moon came up pale On the county road You leaned on my shoulder And I felt it go [Chorus] End of summer, hold me now End of summer, don't fade out (hold me now) We were fire on the porch steps End of summer, take me down [Bridge] Now the kids on the corner Don't know our names But I still see that evening Like a pocket of flame One more slow Sunday One more red sky bend If I close my eyes, babe I can go back again [Chorus] End of summer, hold me now End of summer, don't fade out (end of summer) We were fire on the porch steps End of summer, take me down
