The summer ends and we wonder where we are
And there you go, my friends, with your boxes in your car
And you both look so young and last night was hard, you said
You packed up every room and then you cried and went to bed
But today you closed the door and said we have to get a move on
It's just that time of year when we push ourselves ahead
We push ourselves ahead
And it was cloudy in the morning and it rained as you drove away
And the same things looked different it's the end of the summer
It's the end of the summer, when you move to another place
And I feel like the neighbor's girl who will never be the same
She walked alone all spring, she had a boyfriend
When the summer came and he gave her flowers
In a lightning storm, they disappeared at night in green fields
Of silver corn and sometime in July she just forgot
That he was leaving so when the fields were dying
She held on to his sleeves she held on to his sleeves
And she doesn't want to let go
'Cause she won't know what she's up against
The classrooms and the smart girls it's the end of the summer
It's the end of the summer when you hang your flowers up to dry
And I had a dream it blows the autumn through my head
It felt like the first day of school but I was going to the moon instead
And I walked down the hall with the notebooks they got for me
My dad led me through the house my mom drank instant coffee
And I knew that I would crash but I didn't want to tell them
There are just some moments when your family makes sense
They just make sense
So I raised up my arms and my mother put the sweater on
We walked out on the dark and frozen grass the end of the summer
It's the end of the summer when you send your children to the moon
The summer ends and we wonder who we are
And there you go, my friends, with your boxes in your car
And today I passed the high school, the river, the maple tree
I passed the farms that made it through the last days of the century
And I knew that I was going to learn again, again in this less hazy light
I saw the fields beyond the fields the fields beyond the fields
And the colors are much brighter now
It's like they really want to tell the truth
We give our testimony to the end of the summer
It's the end of the summer, you can spin the light to gold
