Mayfly Highway

Summer begins today, The candy drop has melted away. Side mirrors blush at 5 PM, The city sparkles, a burning gem. Sunset traces your silhouette's glow, Through the highway, headed north we go. What shall we do from here on out? I don't know why, without a doubt, The seasons that I spend with you, Always shine a blinding hue. Road lamps you gave, anywhere with you we stray, Distant thunderheads, clouds eating the summer away. The playlist flows on, just a little longer, night, Wait for us in the fading light. Sparkling, slipping right through the wind, Leaving the two of us behind. Watercolor skies wash the city street, Softly wrapped in orange heat. Sparkling, slipping right through the wind, Leaving everything else behind. This very moment, like a superstar, Running the river of light, here we are. Summer begins today, At dusk, the city unravels away. At the rest stop, it is 8 PM, Floating on the highway, a lunar diadem. Biting into ice cream, smiling wide, The horizon is gone, nowhere to hide. What shall we do from here on out? I don't know why, without a doubt, Today, this time I spend with you, I'll quietly recall it, through and through. Look, an arcadia, with you it's a perfect hideaway, Distant thunderheads, clouds eating the summer away. The playlist flows on, a pinch of the night, Let me hear it take its flight. Sparkling, slipping right through the wind, Leaving the two of us behind. Watercolor skies wash the city street, Softly wrapped in orange heat. Sparkling, slipping right through the wind, Leaving everything else behind. This very moment, like a superstar, Running the river of light, here we are.
