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 till September



And if it wasn't really so

I was lucky not to know

And I was lucky not to wonder why

'Cause the summertime is all that I remember



[Chorus]

A summer fly was buzzin' every night when I was young

In the gentle world my child-like 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 am where I never thought I'd be

Seein' things I never thought I'd see happen to me



And I lie awake at night

Till the darkness turns to light

Hearin' voices callin' out my name

Crawlin' over and again the same message to 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'll just make him lonely anyhow

Don't know why you even try to win



[Music]



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'll just make her lonely anyhow

I don't know why you even try to win



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'll just make him lonely anyhow

Don't know why you even try to win
