In another younger day I could dream the time In the universe inside my room And the world was really mine from June to September And if it wasn't so I was lucky not to know And I was lucky not to wonder why 'cause summertime is all I remember
A summer fly was buzzin' every night When 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 my lonely moments listened to
And I look 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 to me And I lie awake at night till the darkness goes to light Hearin' voices callin' out my name over and again the same message to me
Cryin' who's your partner, who's your darlin', who's your baby now? Who up at night to pull you It don't matter, you just make her lonely anyhow Don't know why you even try to win
