Summer Is Gone

Cigarettes and innocence are scattered on the floorIt's the first of October and the summer is goneYou can't walk away and try claim that none of this was realSometimes autumn is confusing and I know exactly how you feelAnd somewhere you want to go from hereWell I'd rather learn to sleep aloneAnd I swear I die inside some nights as the winter comes on'Cause the summer is goneChildren's gamesFreezing rainAnd Carolina nights get confused out in Brooklyn where promises dieYou can contemplate and half explainAnd justify yourself to anyone who wants to listenIf your answers seem heartfeltAnd somewhere you want to go from hereWell I'd rather learn to sleep aloneAnd I swear I die inside some nights as the winter comes on'Cause the summer is goneNo one believes all the truth that you have while you dreamAnd no one believesAnd no one believes so please just stop screaming at meWon't you please just stop screaming at meWon't you please just stop screaming at meWon't you please just stop screaming at meWon't you please just stop screaming at meWherever you want to go from hereWell I hope you learn to sleep aloneAnd I pray you die inside some nights as the winter comes on'Cause the summer is goneOhThe summer is goneOhThe summer is goneOhThe summer is gone
