On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me
I empty drawers of other summers where my shadows used to be
And she is standing by the water as her smile begins to curl
In this or any other summer she is something altogether different
Never just an ordinary girl
And in the evenings on Long Island when the colours start to fade
She wears a silly yellow hat that someone gave her when she stayed
I didn't think that she returned it we left New York in a whirl
Time expands and then contracts when you are spinning in the grips of
someone who is not an ordinary girl
When you sleep you find your mother in the night
But she stays just out of sight
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
And when you wake the morning covers you with light
And it makes you feel alright
(to riff or )
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
You send your lover off to China then you wait for her to call
You put your girl up on a pedestal then you wait for her to fall
I put my summer's back in a letter and I hide it from the world
All the regrets you can't forget are somehow pressed upon a picture
In the face of such an ordinary girl
And when you sleep you find your mother in the night
But she stays just out of sight
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
And when you wake the morning showers you with light
And it makes you feel alright
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
Again, again, again
It's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
Again, again, again
And it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again

(with riff)
Go ask her to come around and see me late after dark
Don't ask me to come around then wait to see if there's a spark
Go ask her to come around and see me late after dark
Don't ask me to come around then wait to see if there's a spark
Go ask her to come around and see me late after dark
Don't ask me to come around then wait to see if there's a spark

[D] On certain [G]Sundays in [Bm]November when the [A]weather bothers [D]me
I[D] empty [G]drawers of other [Bm]summers where my s[A]hadows used to [D]be
A[D]nd she is [G]standing by the [Bm]water as her sm[A]ile begins to [D]curl
I[D]n this or [G]any other su[Bm]mmer she is [A]something altogether different
[A]Never just an ordinary girl [riff or D G Bm A]
[D] And in the [G]evenings on Long [Bm]Island when the co[A]lours start to f[D]ade
S[D]he wears a [G]silly yellow [Bm]hat that someone g[A]ave her when she [D]stayed
I[D] didn't [G]think that she re[Bm]turned it we left [A]New York in a w[D]hirl
T[D]ime expand[G]s and then c[Bm]ontracts when you are [A]spinning in the grips of
someone [A]who is not an ordinary g[G]irl
When you s[A]leep you find your [D]mother in the nig[G]ht
But she [D]stays just out of [G]sight
So there [D]isn't any [F#m]sweetness in the d[A]reaming
[G] And when you w[A]ake the morning c[D]overs you with l[G]ight
And it m[D]akes you feel al[G]right
[D] [F#m] [A] [Dsus2] (to riff or [D] [G] [Bm] [A])
But it's just the same hard candy you're remembering again
[D] You send your l[G]over off to [Bm]China then you [A]wait for her to [D]call
Y[D]ou put your [G]girl up on a [Bm]pedestal then you [A]wait for her to f[D]all
I[D] put my sum[G]mer's back in a [Bm]letter and I [A]hide it from the [D]world
A[D]ll the reg[G]rets you can't forg[Bm]et are somehow [A]pressed upon a picture
In the f[A]ace of such an ordinary [G]girl
And when you s[A]leep you find your [D]mother in the nig[G]ht
But she [D]stays just out of [G]sight
So there [D]isn't any [F#m]sweetness in the d[A]reaming
[G] And when you w[A]ake the morning sh[D]owers you with l[G]ight
And it m[D]akes you feel al[G]right
But it's [D]just the same hard [F#m]candy you're rem[A]embering aga[D]in
Again,[G] again,[Em] agai[A]n
It's [D]just the same hard c[G]andy you're rem[A]embering ag[D]ain
Again,[G] again,[Em] agai[A]n
And it's [D]just the same hard c[G]andy you're rem[A]embering again
