Fall in texas and the air was bittersweet And the wind tried as much as it could To alleviate the stale, Hot air It's October and in the 90s I used to think the sun was my ally Until this summer charred my outsides Until the river that I loved ran dry They say never give a name to a pet on a farm in case it dies Well I named that river and I named it love And I swam in it and drank it up.
