"Strawberry Thief" lyrics

Strawberries in the summer sun
Your big brown eyes and your hair undone
June bugs in the driveway dancing like they're drunk
The nights drag on forever
The days are never long enough
Wind blows from the south
All dry in my mouth

And if I could box this up
And keep it with me, I would
I don't think the memories will do
Like I thought they would
I'm like a windowpane
Waiting for the next ray of light to shine through
Before you know it, it will be gone
The minutes with you

Coffee on the drip
So hot that you can't take a sip
Draw the blinds, check my phone
Damn I'm glad to be home
Out the back door, check the garden
You look under every leaf
Butterflies and dandelions
A little strawberry thief

And if I could box this up
And keep it with me, I would
I don't think the memories will do
Like I thought they would
I'm like a windowpane
Waiting for the next ray of light to shine through
Before you know it, it will be gone
The minutes with you

Tan skin and bare knees
You act like your mother
And you look like me
Wish we could keep you to ourselves
But we know someday there will be
Somebody else
Who will be fortunate enough
To spend all their minutes
With you
