The Ghost of Summer Walking

So today I have become
The ghost of summer walking
Flesh and gristle, blood and bone
The ghost of summer walking
I think she left when I got bored
And could offer nothing
I'm not the one you used to know
I'm the ghost of summer walking
Time will write its name on you
And all of those that love you
Another sad sack gone to seed
With vulture up above you
I think I fail 'cause I get tired
Of all the endless hoping
Here I am in faded glory
Walking
Do I have to explain?
Do I have to explain?
Hallelujah, here he comes
The ghost of summer walking
All of us one day become
The ghost of summer walking
Do I have to explain?
Do I have to explain?
So today I have become
The ghost of summer walking
Flesh and gristle, blood and bone
The ghost of summer walking
I know she left when she got bored
And could offer nothing
I'm not the one I used to be
I'm the ghost of summer walking
