Summer Fool

I had a summer love
I couldn't get enough
She was my perfect delight
She was the day to my night

Summers, they always end
Goodbye, fair weather friend
We were a bittersweet lie
Birds always know when to fly away

Deep in the river flows
Deep as a shiver knows
I said my little sweet lines
You moved so sweet and divine

I held you by your hand
Thought that you'd understand
We were a different kind
You and I deeper entwined always

Summer always ends, I know it's true
I just want something to hold onto

I loved your little games
And how you said my name
We were a postcard dream
But then behind the scenes

There was a wounded pain
I knew, but all the same
I was a little naive
I guess I didn't quite see the way

We liked to roll the dice
Felt both the burn and ice
I guess I didn't quite see
What you were asking of me

I was a summer fool
Too dumb to know the rules
Maybe I'll try it again
Can't be alone 'til the end of days

Summer always ends, I know it's true
I just want something to hold onto

Summer always ends, I know it's true
I just wanted to hold on to you
