My entry for WXPN’s 24-Hour Song Challenge. The prompt was Summertime, so leave it to me to write a song about grieving the end of summer before it’s even begun 🫠 But sad songs make my world go round. I hope you enjoy nonetheless!

“Sunburn” - music & lyrics by me

hear the quiet of September
in the wake of your storm
like a blaze that burned to embers
turn a page that’s been torn

the crash of crystal waters
how the tides have turned
a deeper blue and so much calmer
such a sad return

still feel the sting of sunburn
dog days are gone too soon
still standing on the shoreline
still melting into you

you were the one worth waking up for
to see the new day rise
bundled up in sandy sweatshirts
blink the morning out our eyes

now, the sleep it seems to linger
as the leaves turn brown
boardwalk mood ring on my finger
turns as gray as this old town

still feel the sting of sunburn
dog days are gone too soon
still standing on the shoreline
still melting into you

still melting into you
still melting into you
still melting into you
still melting into you

I’ll long for you, sweet summer
I’m counting down the moons
your memory’s on my mind
to be sun-kissed by you
sun-kissed by you
to be sun-kissed by you

hear the quiet of September
in the wake of your storm
