Summer's Life

The summer's life is good

we ran down on the path in the woods

to that old swimming hole

where we laugh and sing, stories are told

We lived like children do

We were kind to them

and so brand new



And I loved it then

And I wonder what happened

And may the hard times be gone

And I'll learn what I've done wrong

And let's leave it on this



I took your wonder heart

I'm sorry that I tore you apart

and the summer went away

the rains came and i could not stay

with the birds i went south

now I'm trying to get back somehow



And I loved it then

And I wonder what happened

And may the hard times be gone

And I'll learn what I've done wrong

And let's leave it on this



The winter's life is full of roads and cars

and hash and fuel

and I've forgotten how to talk

words that come, good they are not

guess I'm paying for what I've done

the unknown crime hope forgiving will come



Because I loved it then

And I wonder what happened

And I loved it then

And I wonder what happened
