What I hear:

No more light-green leaves This summer held no words I will not have gone home this year But I'm still not a bird

Ooh Ooh

If it takes all summer long Just to write one simple song There's too much to focus on Clearly there is something wrong

Ooh Ooh

Still not sure what it means. The second verse seems to be pretty clearly about a kind of writer's block/artistic frustration. Maybe the first verse is suggesting that while on tour, he doesn't have the type of experiences that normally give him the inspiration to write songs.
