Songs of Summer
Verse 1: Time has stopped. A veil has faded. This lifeless void is what’s left of my heart. The sunlit world, I once created Now is lost. I can’t breathe. I can’t cry. Can you find me in the dark? Chorus: Wrapped in smothering black, I bleed. Hold my hand now tight! It’s the mire that I feed In my restless mind. But between the shades of dawn And the darkness of nights, I will find - Times of Light. Verse 2: The roots go deep, they branch and tangle But only ash grows on this fruitless ground. In twilight gloom, I hold the candle That I burnt at both ends. It’s so dark! Will the sun ever come out? Chorus. Find the light Find the light I will find the light I will find the light to get through. Wrapped in smothering black, I bleed. Hold my hand now tight! It’s the mire that I feed In my restless mind. But between the shades of dawn And the darkness of nights, I will strive and fight and find My Times of Light. Find the light Find the light I will find the light I will find the light

Verse 1: Locked the door and hid the key. Left my story safe inside, behind. It’s the last time that I see... this place. Now it’s time to say goodbye, goodbye. Chorus: Let my heart wither Like embers glow in the dark, Leave nothing but a spark. Let me walk with you The road that leads to the skies Where every summer dies. Verse 2: Sunset colors fade to dusk. Pages smolder, turning black. Time to go now, our paths will cross Split and wind, but won’t go back. Chorus. Verse 3: Would you sit awhile with me? Look how moments turn to dust! Clouds will float above while we Become distant echoes of the past. Chorus 3: Let my heart wither Like embers glow in the dark, Leave nothing but a spark. Will you walk with me The embers of this life Until the day I die?

Sleep, my darling The sky is darkening in the east Hear the whispers In the grass and in the leaves Watch the sun gilding the vesper air As time weaves silver in your hair Summer lullaby Summer's flowing by Dream of summer Feel the south wind on your skin Flowers smell of honey And warmth still lingers here August heat flares up like embers In the cool breath of September Summer lullaby Summer's flowing by Summer lullaby Summer's flowing by Summer lullaby (I can hear it in the leaves) Summer's flowing by (I can feel the way it leaves) Summer lullaby (I can taste it on my lips) Summer's flowing by (Running through my fingertips) Summer lullaby (That cicadas calmly sing) Summer's flowing by (Its caress upon my skin) Summer lullaby (I can hear it in the leaves) Summer's flowing by (I can feel the way it leaves)
