the track,

blow
your whistle long and long,

as
the summer wind sings its last song,

we
walk down the midway arm-in-arm.

One minute you're here, next

what I'd do but I was wrong.

on
the muddy banks I lay my body down, this body down.

stars
vanish in a sky as black as stone.

One minute you're here, next
minute you're gone.

One minute you're here, next
minute you're gone.
