I was loud and a little sad
She was visiting from Atlanta, Georgia
She'd come to spend the summer with her dad
I thought she was very pretty
We'd kiss and hold hands
Every night by the football field
Her body was tanned
From the afternoons
By the public swimming pool
Sweet evening breeze
Blows around my thoughts and memories
As I lie here today and drink my tea
I can still see
Sweet evening breeze
Saw her in a coffee shop
In a big hotel down in Austin, Texas
She'd cut her long hair off
And replaced it with blue eyes of sadness
Still acted like we were kids
And she told me, that she had to marry
And she asked me if I did
Still remember
Sweet evening breeze
Blows around my thoughts and memories
As I lie here today and drink my tea
I can still see
Sweet evening breeze
How redundant the future must be
These days of old
Are very very
Ridiculous for me to see
As I think about those real gone stories
How time holds the winning hand
I can tell by the lines on our faces
And the young can understand
That they look at me
When they look at themselves
Sweet evening breeze
Blows around my thoughts and memories
As I lie here today and drink my tea
I can still see
Sweet evening breeze
