Sons Of Summer

(billy mernit)



It makes me smile

To think of what we dreamed of



Where are those sons of summer now

With their wild-haired women in their

Patchwork gowns

Who could laugh the lights away

Nights on the beach and bay



The course on farms

And the course in the bar

Sweet smokin' in the back of the car

Always the first time shines to last like a morning star

Like a morning star



It's been a while since the last time we were dancing

Where are those sons of summer now

With their long-limber ladies who all knew how

To chase the blues away

I've got the blues today



Your ivy days and your clubhouse ways

Wine mug nights when the music played

Love that is real will not fade away like a morning star



Where are those sons of summer now

The winter has come

And you don't know how to turn your

Dreams into coal

Your books won't hold you

The woods get cold

And i feel too old

I begin to question your schoolboy soul

Clever remarks that once won my heart

When the fire won't light they lose their spark

And i can't help but get a little bit blue

Thinking about the precious nothing we

Once knew
