"St. Laurent Summer" lyrics

I'm on the overnight through Maine
New Brunswick-bound, I'm home again
Seems 'round here not much has changed
I need that for a while

I leave behind no real regrets
No cityscapes I can't forget
'Cept for one small friend I met
Her memory makes me smile

Summertime moved slowly into fall
Summertime seemed hardly here at all

St. Laurent would smell of fish
We'd walk on summer's air so thick
Our backs were moist, our shirts would stick
Still we'd plug along

I had time to freely spend
I tied most of my looser ends
And I could count all of my friends
On the thumb of my right hand

Summertime moved slowly into fall
Summertime seemed hardly here at all

Summertime moved slowly into fall
Summertime seemed hardly here at all

Within our room a candle burned
And flickered while I tried to learn
The contours of a friendship
Turned warmer with the night

We knew that both our lives were [?]
Simple facts, hard to deny
Maybe it makes for a smoother ride
When you know the end's in sight

Summertime moved slowly into fall
Summertime seemed hardly here at all

Summertime moved slowly into fall
Summertime seemed hardly here at all

Ohhhh, yeah, ohhhh
You know it seems so far away
I know I move so slowly
