Another Sweet Summer's Night On Hammer Hill

(album: The Cherry Trees Are Still In Blossom - 2022)

Oh the memories, they come a-streaming
When I'm walking 'round here dreaming
On a summer's night on Hammer Hill

Oh, it's hard to stay with the subject
When you think of something so perfect
As a summer's night on Hammer Hill

I had a friend who was slightly overweight
That means fatass in the seventh grade
I still remember the steamy dressing room
Where they beat him black and blue
Yeah, they beat him black and blue

Oh, but it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty
An open window, someone's playing Tutti Frutti
It's a summer's night on Hammer Hill

I had a friend, a girl who looked sort of like a guy
I can't forget her dark painful eyes
When they burned her with a cigarette lighter
When the cops came they had to untie her
Another girl was free to grow up as cynical writer

Oh, but it's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty
An open window, someone's playing Tutti Frutti
It's a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill
I wanna die right here
On a sweet summer's night on Hammer Hill
