lyrics

She calls me on the phone, she says she's all alone
and come see me tonight
I take 287, stop at 7-11
to fuel my evening flight
Now there's crumbs in the crevice of my corduroys
Coffee stains my stick shift
It's a sweltering drive, I'm preoccupied tonight

And all the time I think of her
and I hope that the summer never ends

I'm headed down to Crescent Street
our designated place to meet
I'm headed down to Crescent Street tonight

I'm headed down to Crescent Street
We're melting in the August heat
I'm headed down to Crescent Street tonight

My wheel hits the curb and I observe
her waiting at the door
Her tight half shirt and her hippie skirt
are difficult to ignore

She leads me up the staircase, her long hair in my face
I smell summer breeze
Her lower back skin makes my dirty mouth grin
and weakens my knees

We talk about the day's events
but we don't even make it up the stairs

I'm headed down to Crescent Street
our designated place to meet
I'm headed to Crescent Street tonight

I'm headed down to Crescent Street
We're melting in the August heat
I'm headed down to Crescent Street tonight

We're locked inside and our bodies collide
to the sound of passing cars
The Elysian fields of her body heals
my old romantic scars
Then we had out on the roof for an interlude
to watch the midnight sky
We have a deep conversation and a sweet libation
like some religious right

We fall asleep up on the roof
and I hope that the summer never ends

I'm headed down to Crescent Street
our designated place to meet
I'm headed to Crescent Street tonight

I'm headed down to Crescent Street
We're melting in the August heat
I'm headed down to Crescent Street tonight
