lyrics

I was fifteen. I went to Fish Creek.
It was the Cooks’ Camp. I’d never been there.
There were black flies. We were so alive.
All of the chairs were Adirondack style
It was so strange to be in close range
with all the Cook girls, and Tara came too.
I was so sure that I’d get closer.
I was running barefoot through grass, so cool.
Picking our way from rock to rock,
trying to keep from getting wet feet.
Making our way from rock to rock along Fish Creek.
I was so close. I washed the windows.
I was trying real hard. My hair was long too.
Wanted a girlfriend. I wore a green vest
with pins and suchlike. I think I wore boots.
Picking our way from rock to rock,
trying to keep from getting wet feet.
Making our way from rock to rock along Fish Creek.
We made a fire down on the rocks,
waterlogged river rocks.
One of the rocks got so hot that it popped,
and a piece of rock burned Kristin’s foot.
We waded deeper into the water.
We wanted to see what was farther on down.
Then “something bit me.”
They were plain to see. I wanted to see
what was farther on down.
Picking our way from rock to rock,
trying to keep from getting wet feet.
Making our way from rock to rock along Fish Creek.
