"Summer Fly" Lyrics

In another younger day
I could dream the time away
In the universe inside my room
And the world was really mine from June till September

And if it wasn't really so
I was lucky not to know
And I was lucky not to wonder why
'Cause the summertime is all that I remember

[Chorus]
A summer fly was buzzin' every night when I was young
In the gentle world my child-like 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 am 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 turns to light
Hearin' voices callin' out my name
Crawlin' 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'll just make him lonely anyhow
Don't know why you even try to win

[Music]

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'll just make her lonely anyhow
I don't know why you even try to win

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'll just make him lonely anyhow
Don't know why you even try to win
