lyrics

She was seventeen years old
aware of all her rights
Planning interventions
for all the quiet types

parked beside the highway
drawing circles in the dust
the sun is hardly moving
it's confusing dawn for dusk

but you're on your way out
no reasonable doubt
and no shadow

summer is a dream
and you are still asleep
falling for a boy
who might just pray your soul to keep

You can rest assured
the days are longer than the nights
but back inside your bedroom
and he's turning out the lights

Chorus

horizon stretching up not out
everywhere you turn around
and surprised to find such space
in such a crowded underground

Don't they know there's nothing
they could offer you to stay
now you've cut your hair
like it's some Roman Holiday

Ben Smith West Chester, Pennsylvania

West Chester, PA songwriter Ben Smith's songs sound good in both your front parlor and your back barroom---all Tin Pan Alley piano and a fading choirboy voice.
