Days are cold
And nights are long
And so I sing my summer song
Because the tides of winter
Have me down
Biting winds
And chilling cold
Direct my mind to summers old
When warm sunshine caressed me
To the bone
It takes me
Back to a time
When all we did was play
And nothing
Seemed to matter
Come what may
Those days
Of so long ago
Are distant in my mind
And if I returned
With what I've learned
I'm scared of what I'd find
But still today
I hear the call
Of summers changing into fall
With colors just like fire
All around
Even then
The colors fade
And like all seasons pass away
And wait while winter's blanket
Hides the ground
I know
That under the snow
The summer still remains
And if I try
I'll find that I
Don't miss the summer rains
But days are cold nights are long
I need those days to hang my dreams upon
And that is why I sing this
Summer song
