Verse 1:
On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me
(D)
I empty drawers of other summers where my shadows used to be
(D)
And she is standing by the water as her smile begins to curl
(D)
In this or any other summer she is something altogether different
Never just an ordinary girl [riff or D G Bm A]
Verse 2:
And in the evenings on Long Island when the colours start to fade
(D)
She wears a silly yellow hat that someone gave her when she stayed
(D)
I didn't think that she returned it we left New York in a whirl
(D)
Time expands and then contracts when you are spinning in the grips of
someone who is not an ordinary girl
Chorus 1:
When you sleep you find your mother in the night
But she stays just out of sight
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
And when you wake the morning covers you with light
And it makes you feel alright
D F#m A Dsus2 (to riff or D G Bm A)
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
Verse 3:
You send your lover off to China then you wait for her to call
(D)
You put your girl up on a pedestal then you wait for her to fall
(D)
I put my summer's back in a letter and I hide it from the world
(D)
All the regrets you can't forget are somehow pressed upon a picture
In the face of such an ordinary girl
Chorus 2:
And when you sleep you find your mother in the night
But she stays just out of sight
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
And when you wake the morning showers you with light
And it makes you feel alright
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
Again, again, again
It's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
Again, again, again
And it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
