Summer clear Before anything changed my sight Before I ever saw the dark In a new light… Summer fear Before I had a chance to know Before I ever felt the pain But not long to go… Summer clear Before any fears Summer dear A child’s ears Like a lullaby Compared to real life Before jobs and a wife All the brick walls And life just kind of stalls The sunsets here In your locked away memories Before the double-edged pain Always in degrees… Water so gently In the river washed over me nice Such a pastoral scene of Before my age of ice… Summer clear Before any fears Summer dear A child’s ears Like a lullaby Compared to real life Before jobs and a wife All the brick walls And life just kind of stalls The town and city Won’t remember me anytime soon I will, the toads and dogs and stars, Under my favorite moon… I’m an old man now The house belongs to someone else They all died long ago now I guess all I have left is myself… Summer clear Before any fears Summer dear A child’s ears Like a lullaby Compared to real life Before jobs and a wife All the brick walls And life just kind of stalls Summer clear I miss it dear Summer clear Before the fear Summer clear Summer clear My last happy year. My last happy year. My last happy year.
