When the Sun Goes Down
When the sun goes down
Ice defines the name of winter
Snow melts the hearts of children
Florida hangs on to the country
Attached at the bottom southeast
Like an appendage without a foot
Dolphins chirp like little birds
Lightning and sharks strike, attack
Alligators and crocodiles coexist
"The only place on Earth"
According to the news reports
When the sun goes down in Maine
Things get dark and cold and wet
Florida is a long distance from winter
The sun never sets in Miami
It is not a case of smoke and mirrors
Or even distance
It is too darn hot for that
