Draining My Pool

Draining My Pool

I’m draining my pool
Tracing the shadows of geese on the water
Trying to find the key to the poolhouse
Watching the leaves fall down from the sky
Kids all back in school
I know it’s time to clean up the border
Pick up the leaves, the rake’s in the toolhouse
Counting the days that slowly tick by

Bye bye to all those boys downtown
Bye bye to all those lies
I swore I’d never let you down
It’s the unspoken rule
I’m here draining my pool

I’m draining my pool
Watching the water roll down the gutter
Under the street, away from this old house
Watching the water roll to the sea
They played me the fool
They say there’s no good deed goes unpunished
Under my feet, this is my jailhouse
This is my only sanctuary

Bye bye to all those boys downtown
Bye bye to all those lies
I swore I’d never let you down
It’s the unbroken rule
I’m here draining my pool

Da da da da da
