Midsummer Night's Dream Lyrics
The face in the mirror is grinning insanely
Eyes swim in loneliness of the sea
Passion has frozen, reflecting the season
The black waves are beating the ship of the free
Midsummer music in my head
Midsummer raining down the end
The grass in my garden is choking the trees
And the leaves fall like bats' wings into the fire
Windows gaze sightless into the woodlands
Seeing the white smoke rise ever higher
Midsummer silence in the hills (yeah)
Midsummer lake reflecting, still
Snake slithers, dry-skinned, into my portrait
Painting the canvas black with his heart
Sunrise is flaming over my shoulder
Tearing the burnt land's future apart
Midsummer burning in my mind
Midsummer...
Eyes swim in loneliness of the sea
Passion has frozen, reflecting the season
The black waves are beating the ship of the free
Midsummer raining down the end
And the leaves fall like bats' wings into the fire
Windows gaze sightless into the woodlands
Seeing the white smoke rise ever higher
Midsummer lake reflecting, still
Painting the canvas black with his heart
Sunrise is flaming over my shoulder
Tearing the burnt land's future apart
Midsummer...

I reckon this song is about Autumn or Winter and the return of seasonal depression. Loneliness seems to be a common theme as well as the idea of death. There also appears to be an idea of lust for Summer's return.
A really touching song written by a rock n' roll legend.
