Summer Again

I'm watching the green give into gold

As summer becomes October's cold

Gravity begs

For one final kiss

She drops it to him as she gives in

Traces of light linger around

As laces of white fall to the ground

The softest of sounds for the heaviest things

And the pain that it brings

As she falls I try to catch her

For one last touch of warmth from summer

As one thing leaves to becomes another again

I remember when

Don't remember the day she started to fade

The ground felt a chill as she gave it away

A whisper, a sigh for the time that she passed

But this winter won't last

As she falls I try to catch her

For one last touch of warmth from summer

As one thing leaves to becomes another again

I remember when

Oh, to be with summer again

The days were warm and we wore them like skin

Now I feel the effects of October again

As she falls I try to catch her

For one last touch of warmth from summer

As one thing leaves to becomes another again

I remember when

Oh, to be with summer again

I'm watching the green give in to gold

As summer becomes October's

cold
