It's summer here on the front porch while a
while a full wind blows out back and blows your red secrets and blue love away
and you've got dirty skin and a bruised tongue
and you're harder to reach now than you were when you were young
and we've got all we want from you
you can go
and we've got all we need so
thank you Miss Monroe
With a slender book and a dark song you're out for the night
driving the evening avenues in the tender cool light
and come to think of it, well, you were always young
always in need of hope and help and love
and we've got all we want from you
you can go
and we've got all we need to hang you
you're on your own
It'll be alright
I'll put your name in lights
if you stay the night
There's a hunger in your heart and in your tender, youthful soul
your lonely eyes looking out through time make me feel blue
so won't you come sit down and let me talk some sense to you
and we've got all we want from you
you can go
we've got all we need so
thank you
Miss Monroe
