Summer Cats (1998)

Summertime is over

and I dream of trains long gone

And I wish that I was older

And I wish that I was bold


All those times I longed for

So many times before

Are a dream that's just approaching

as I reach out for the door


Dinner and a movie

Spiderman and cats

Beach Boys on the radio

Records and some catch


Wittgenstein on Facebook

Freud across the map

All those things I've longed for

All those things I'd lacked


Oh hello mom and dad, how you laughed when I didn't believe in love

Oh hello all my friends, what a fool that I was to proclaim that I

Didn't need nobody and was fine all by my own

Then all the things I longed for came knocking at my door


Wintertime is coming

And the days go by so fast

And I wish that I was younger

And I wish I wasn't rash


Dinner and a movie

Spiderman and cats

Maybe - gasp!- a raincoat

and a love that's meant to last
