[00:02.00]hard candy
[00:06.45]
[00:06.97]counting crows
[00:10.38]
[00:10.74]
[00:12.34]
[00:14.24]on certain sundays in november
[00:17.74]when the weather bothers me
[00:20.56]i empty drawers of other summer's
[00:23.75]where my shadows used to be
[00:26.92]she is standing by the water
[00:30.91]as her smile begins to curl
[00:33.35]in this or any other summer
[00:36.60]she is something all together different
[00:40.38]never just an ordinary girl
[00:44.43]
[00:50.61]and in the evenings on long island
[00:54.39]when the colors start to fade
[00:56.88]she wears a silly yellow hat
[00:59.95]that someone gave her when she stayed
[01:03.23]i didn't think that she returned it
[01:06.42]we left new york in a whirl
[01:09.59]time expands and then contracts
[01:12.73]when you are spinning
[01:14.46]in the grips of someone
[01:16.89]who is not an ordinary girl
[01:20.66]
[01:21.11]when you sleep
[01:22.15]you find your mother in the night
[01:25.43]but she stays just out of sight
[01:29.12]so there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
[01:33.74]
[01:36.39]and when you wake the morning covers you with light
[01:41.63]and it makes you feel alright
[01:44.77]but it's just the same hard candy
[01:47.67]you're remembering again
[01:50.68]
[01:56.91]you send your lover off to china
[02:00.54]then you wait for her to call
[02:03.41]you put your girl up on a pedestal
[02:06.85]then you wait for her to fall
[02:09.69]i put my summer's back in a letter
[02:13.16]and i hide it from the world
[02:16.06]all the regrets you can't forget
[02:19.17]are somehow pressed upon a picture
[02:22.39]in the face of such an ordinary girl
[02:26.98]
[02:27.20]when you sleep
[02:28.49]you find your mother in the night
[02:32.19]but she fades just out of sight
[02:35.33]so there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
[02:40.31]
[02:42.52]and when you wake the morning showers you with light
[02:48.01]and it makes you feel alright
[02:51.22]but it's just the same hard candy
[02:53.99]you're remembering again
[02:57.18]again
[03:02.28]it's just the same hard candy
[03:05.03]you're remembering again
[03:08.66]again
[03:13.17]and it's just the same hard candy
[03:16.10]you're remembering again
[03:19.42]
[03:34.88]go ask her to come around
[03:39.86]and see me late after dark
[03:41.36]don't ask me to come around
[03:44.16]then wait to if there's a spark
[03:47.38]
[00:00.05]
