| Gordon Lightfoot – Summer Side Of Life Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
The song begins on the summer side of life when everything is fresh, bright and full of sunny optimism. Verse1: A new love is entered into with a state of innocence, hope and optimism but now the relationship has died and if we saw him now we'd see nothing but sorrow and wonder why. Verse2. At a time when young lovers make plans for their future together, they are abruptly ended when young men are called off to war. Their dreams of a life together are in upheaval when faced with the prospect of war. Verse3. In reference to the time that Jesus, the innocent and perfect one who came into this world to bring peace, love and hope, walked into the market and became enraged as he began overturning tables in disgust over the promotion of corruption and sin that he saw there. As the song concludes we see that nothing has changed since then and are left to contemplate the summer side of life and wonder why the world is this way. |
