Summer Fly Lyrics

Summer Fly lyrics

Summer Fly
In another younger day I could dream the time away
In the
universe inside my room
And the world was really mine from June to
September
And if it wasn't really so, I waslucky not to know
And I was
lucky not to wonder why
'Cause a pure and golden high is all that I
remember
A summer fly was buzzin' every night when I was young
In the
gentle world my childlike senses knew
And the world was just my cousin and
the wind was just the tongue
In the voice my lonely moments listened
to.
And I look at me today all the dreams have gone away
And I'm where I
never thought I'd be
Seein' things I never thought I'd see happenin' to
me
And I lay awake at night till the darkness goes to light
Hearin'
voices callin' out my name
Dronin' over and again the same message through
me
Cryin' who's your partner, who's your darlin'
who's your baby
now?
Who wakes up at night to pull you in?
It don't matter, you just make
her lonely anyhow,
don't know why you even try to win.
