James Tristan Redding - July in Indiana (November 2007)

from Loose Licks by James Tristan Redding

/

lyrics

Holly, I love how your lipstick shines
I think your karma has a color
I wish we had met in the Baltimore harbor
Chesapeake Bay was brilliant at night

Hot and humid like insult to injury
No more snow beneath my fingers
Chill me out and remind me to relax
The southern sun on my shoulders

It’s time I called you up and said, “I’m sorry”
It’s time you called me back and said, “Don’t worry”

Now Christen held the spotlight
And Oliver tried to hold his liquor
Just long enough to help me remember
This is how October feels

Another seasonal surrender coming closer
Frozen fallout under the streetlights
The longest, coldest nights and my friend
A white wind on my rosy cheeks

It’s time I called you up and said, “I’m sorry”
It’s time you called me back and said, “Don’t worry”

Sure enough with the evening clouds
Uneasy guts and uncertain glances
Gary unspun my spinning head
I miss all the kentucky rain

I remember this one July in Indiana
Christmas lights from a theater ceiling
Gaudy green tomatoes on a plastic string
To rival the jukebox dancers
