lyrics

summer afternoon
hours unfold like flowers in bloom
spinning ‘round my room
mulling over all the things I think to be true

all the birds call out in harmony
piercing through the street’s cacophony
Is there nothing truer than a mind at peace?
racing thoughts upon these roads will take no heed

how does summer always seem to
steal my youth away from me?
year by year the child I once was
falls further into memory

will my sense of wonder grow as frail as my bones?
will we force our dreams to retreat and leave us all to die alone?
No, I won’t

summer nights
poisoned by a frame of streetlights
how our voices climb
up over our neighborhoods to lace the skyline

all the crickets croon in harmony
piercing through a night’s debauchery
is there nothing truer than a child at play?
is there nothing crueler than a book’s last page?
