[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]
