John Engel - Ancient Summer

Build a raft to sail away
Count the trains that time the day
In the late afternoon blush
Me and my friends run through the brush
Skimming stones across the lake
Skipping ties between the rails
Crunch on corn and snack on beet
Make chewing gum out of wheat
And in the night we look at stars
And give them names for all the girls
We'll never know but dream about
Whistling contests through a leaf
Sneak in the theater like a thief
Trade bikes and movie cards
Roam forever but never too far
Steal plums from the neighbor's yard
Turn green on an old cigar
Forbidden fruit is sweet
Smell the blown curfew on the evening street
And in the night we look at stars
And give them names for all the girls
We'll never know but dream about
And in the night we look at stars
And give them names for all the girls
We'll never know but dream about
Cop a feel or steal a kiss
Score one and it's a week of bliss
Racing scooters and soapbox cars
Banging tunes on a junk guitar
No worries about how to pay
The sandman so he goes away
The girls we love in silence know
When you're eleven, vows have no tomorrow
