Lyrics

Ninety Days

By Jimmy Shoals · The Last One To Leave

Screen door slapping at five in the afternoon Somebody's speakers bleeding out a borrowed tune Cooler going slow, lake going warm Nothing on the calendar but clear and partly stormy All I know is it went faster than it should And I'd give anything to go back if I could Ninety days — Memorial to Labor Everything worth knowing, everything worth later Sun burned hot and we burned right with it Ninety days — I'm not done with it Last night of August, fire in the yard Somebody said "don't say it" — but it's hard Watched the smoke go up like it had somewhere to be Ninety days of everything that mattered most to me All I know is it went faster than it should And I'd give anything to go back if I could Ninety days — Memorial to Labor Everything worth knowing, everything worth later Sun burned hot and we burned right with it Ninety days — I'm not done with it Here's what ninety days can do to you Change the way you see the whole world through Who you were on day one, who you are on ninety Not the same person — and that's fine with me Somebody pulls a photo out in late November Something hits them like they just remembered Summer's not a season — it's a sound Ninety days — and it keeps coming around Ninety days — Memorial to Labor Everything worth knowing, everything worth later Sun burned hot and we burned right with it Ninety days — I'm not done with it Ninety days Not done with it Ninety days
