Summer's Life Lyrics
The summer's life is good
we ran down on the path in the woods
to that old swimming hole
where we laugh and sing, stories are told
We lived like children do
We were kind to them
and so brand new
And I loved it then
And I wonder what happened
And may the hard times be gone
And I'll learn what I've done wrong
And let's leave it on this
I took your wonder heart
I'm sorry that I tore you apart
and the summer went away
the rains came and i could not stay
with the birds i went south
now I'm trying to get back somehow
And I loved it then
And I wonder what happened
And may the hard times be gone
And I'll learn what I've done wrong
And let's leave it on this
The winter's life is full of roads and cars
and hash and fuel
and I've forgotten how to talk
words that come, good they are not
guess I'm paying for what I've done
the unknown crime hope forgiving will come
Because I loved it then
And I wonder what happened
And I loved it then
And I wonder what happened
we ran down on the path in the woods
to that old swimming hole
where we laugh and sing, stories are told
We lived like children do
We were kind to them
and so brand new
And I wonder what happened
And may the hard times be gone
And I'll learn what I've done wrong
And let's leave it on this
I'm sorry that I tore you apart
and the summer went away
the rains came and i could not stay
with the birds i went south
now I'm trying to get back somehow
And I wonder what happened
And may the hard times be gone
And I'll learn what I've done wrong
And let's leave it on this
and hash and fuel
and I've forgotten how to talk
words that come, good they are not
guess I'm paying for what I've done
the unknown crime hope forgiving will come
And I wonder what happened
And I loved it then
And I wonder what happened

I love this song...its one of those songs that gives me a certain feeling of nostalgia, the combination of music and lyrics. Sort of like "New Slang" by The Shins or "1979" by Smashing Pumpkins. I love that it's just guitar and clapping for a lot of it....a lovely little tune.
agreed. i love this song.
i completely agree. this is one of those songs that i just put on repeat over and over while i'm doing some mundane task and i never get sick of it.
