Knives of Summertime Lyrics
a flock of knives cut the sky
and buried in my black eyes
and the clouds they bled in my head
and autumn rain soaked the dry beds
and the hurricane of her eyes
wailed away the knives
the knives of summertime, summertime
the knives of summertime, summertime
the knives of summertime
and i did swallow stained glass tears
absorbed by the sun for many light years
and the fire flies in her hair
my red concertinas coming down the stairs
and the hurricane of her eyes
wailed away the knives
the knives of summertime, summertime
the knives of summertime, summertime
the knives of summertime
and buried in my black eyes
and the clouds they bled in my head
and autumn rain soaked the dry beds
and the hurricane of her eyes
wailed away the knives
the knives of summertime, summertime
the knives of summertime, summertime
the knives of summertime
absorbed by the sun for many light years
and the fire flies in her hair
my red concertinas coming down the stairs
and the hurricane of her eyes
wailed away the knives
the knives of summertime, summertime
the knives of summertime, summertime
the knives of summertime

Okay, this is definitely a trippy song. Probably one of my favorite sparklehorse songs, I just love the melody of the verses, so good.
I don't think this is necessarily about anything, just psychedelic imagery to provide feelings. I think of this as his version of Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds.
WHAT, only one comment? this is my favorite. rip, mark linkous.
and the hurricane of her eyes wailed away the knives the knives of summertime
It's a love song for her
She keeps all the bad things away from him
