Red House Painters

how have you been caroline
living ok
home in PA
see how the color left from our faces
from when, when we were younger
just yesterday i was making the reach
went for a swim in lover's beach
and there i met friends and i neared the bay
until i felt sick
but you were my friend
don't you know how i needed you then
i felt nervous when you shook and cried
the circles under your eyes
