From the recording Bricks & Dust
Lyrics
SUMMER'S GONE
The sun is sinkin’ low in the western sky
The birds are flockin’ south way up high
And my heart’s sinkin’ too as our love fades
And colours turn from bright to autumn shades
We’d never have stayed together me and you
Just too many hoops to stagger through
And though a part of you still lingers in my heart
The image slowly dims and breaks apart
If only it could last forever
If only forever it could be
But summer’s gone summer’s gone
My love I have to tell you summer’s gone
Now love’s sweet petals bloom then fall away
Like darkness fades to greet the comin’ day
And time well it’s still here tickin’ on
But my love I have to tell you summer’s gone
Summer’s gone summer’s gone
My love I have to tell you summer’s gone
