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 was lucky not to know

And I was lucky not to wonder why

'cause summertime 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 happen to me

And I lie awake at night till the darkness goes to light

Hearin' voices callin' out my name

Dronin' 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 just make her lonely anyhow

Don't know why you even try to win
