Summer of John Wayne Lyrics
A summer of John Wayne getting older, reel after reel,
and playing old soldiers with old wounds, you know how that feels.
And a summer of searching the underworld, an arrow in my heel,
and the winding down of days,
and the speeding up of time won't change.
But I know you say nothing good lasts forever.
Some things burn bright, but burn themselves out to embers.
And these weather conversations and small talk, steal my hours away, and I gave away my best to strangers day after day,
and the winding down of days,
and the speeding up of time won't change.
But I know you say nothing good lasts forever.
Some things burn bright, but burn themselves out to embers.
Your love is a cold, cold place my dear
the seasons change those ghosts appear
and every sound is an echo of yesterday.
And suddenly I fall through the cracks in time
and I'm standing here with your hand in mine
and I turn around to see you there's no one there.
But I know you say nothing good lasts forever.
You will forget but I will always remember, the time.
and playing old soldiers with old wounds, you know how that feels.
And a summer of searching the underworld, an arrow in my heel,
and the winding down of days,
and the speeding up of time won't change.
Some things burn bright, but burn themselves out to embers.
and the winding down of days,
and the speeding up of time won't change.
Some things burn bright, but burn themselves out to embers.
the seasons change those ghosts appear
and every sound is an echo of yesterday.
And suddenly I fall through the cracks in time
and I'm standing here with your hand in mine
and I turn around to see you there's no one there.
You will forget but I will always remember, the time.
