Don't Rush the Peach

You ran the fruit stand by the tracks I kept on finding reasons back You said this basket needs a day I took an apple on my way I asked you out before July You said, I like a little time Don't rush the peach Let the summer reach What is sweet can take its time I'll be here if you decide We talked of books and broken bikes The mornings turned to longer light I learned your dog was named for rain You learned I always miss my train Don't rush the peach Let the summer reach What is sweet can take its time I'll be here if you decide One Friday you came round the stand Two ripe ones resting in your hand You said you closed at half past three And asked if I would walk with you Don't rush the peach Let the summer reach What is sweet can take its time I'll be here if you decide We split one sitting by the creek The juice ran sweet across my sleeve
