Suzie

Deep in summer, summer night Windows open sorting the flies Same temperature in as outside Time to wander down the mountain side Onto the main road, lit by the moon Our conversation is this nights tune Heat rising up from our shoes The earth's not cooling anytime soon I think I hear a car That engine noise is coming fast I think I hear a car Don't let Suzie run ahead, don't let Suzie run ahead We squat down in the bush below To make sure we can't be seen by the road We're still calling for her to come to our side I can feel the panic, the whites of my mother's eyes The cars headlights growing brighter still It's peaked the crest, it's coming on down the hill Swipes by so fast as we hold our breaths Hearts pumping fast through the walls of our chest Return to black, except the moon and the devil tail light Hoping she'll return sometime in the night Please do not slow down Keep moving one hundred by the hour Please do not slow down Keep moving one hundred by the hour Please do not slow down Don't let Suzie run ahead --- Suzie - Ainslie Wills
