Songtexte Mud Island - Carrousel

Summer's coming to an end, and to be honest Timmy
I don't want to see it go
With your strawberry hair and freckles, we were children
But that's almost over now

And at the western edge of Memphis near the Mississippi
Will you ever think of me?
And when I'm having happy birthdays on September 14
Will you sing to me from

Mud Island
Eyes be opened
Children, time to come in
We don't know what we don't know

We might could stay a little longer in the summer twilight
Then watch it disappear
But up above us there the Memphis Bridge sends a shadow
To somewhere far from here

Mud Island
Our eyes are opened
Children, children no more, no more
No more

Somewhere far away from here
Far away, I gotta know what I don't know

(Know) Love is the only thing, love is the on'
Love is the only thing, take with you, take with you
(No) Love is the only thing, love is the on'
Love is the only thing, bring you back, bring you back home

Is it the end of summer, or are we just playing grown-up
The way that we used to?
I know I've never told you this before, but honest Timmy
I can't say goodbye to you
