aitis band, ray borchers & bobby burg - ashefield lyrics
three, four
when we lived on ashefield lake
i used to meet my friend heather for a swim at the dock
down the street from her house
she could do handstands underwater
one afternoon, heather asked me where i lived
i pointed toward the small cottage
but as she looked my finger wavered
i pointed further up the road
there were nine of us and i didn’t want her to know that i had to sleep with my sister every night
her boyfriend recently died twenty+five years later
he jumped in front of a train
he was a boy that i liked and wrote about
he had black hair and black eyes and white skin
his eyes squinted and sparkled
he lived across ashefield lake from us with his grandmother in the white house
i used to stand at the beach and stare at the house
one time i stared at a figure that i thought was him
every morning on the school bus
he and his friends would sit in the back and sing billy joel
“i don’t care what you say anymore, this is my life”
marge the bus driver would smile
we all would
