‘Til the Summer Comes Again

Well I cleaned up the boat, put the cover on the pool Summer chairs in the barn, kids back in school Trees are yellow and red, sky's a bright blue Green is faded from the grass, got the snowblower tuned Times that we've had, times we have left Think about it too long, scares me to death Little speck of light at the Milky Way's end Half a billion miles "til the summer comes again The older I get, quicker everything goes One day you're lying on the beach, next day you're shivering in the cold Kids are thirteen, another five years They'll be waving goodbye, I'll be holding back tears Times that we've had, times we have left Think about it too long, scares me to death Little speck of light at the Milky Way's end Half a billion miles "til the summer comes again 'Til the summer comes again Another trip around the sun, sailing through the stars Don't know where we come from, don't know where we are Everything dies, sure as it begins, take the screen door down, put the storm door in Times that we've had, times we have left Think about it too long, scares me to death Little speck of light at the Milky Way's end Half a billion miles "til the summer comes again
