Summer's Leaving Songtext
von Douglas Firs

When I met her she was wearing something green
I didn′t like
She was showing me a lot of useless things
I didn't have
I was telling her a story with a joke
But she didn′t laugh
She just said: stay a little longer

She told me all about how she wished that she was born
Some other time
About everyone who didn't understand
What she was like
All the dreams she'd lost while looking for some truth
She couldn′t find
And by the time I had my answer
She was already gone

Oh summer′s leaving
And she's about to do the same
Oh I can′t believe it
That we will let this slip away


While we tried to hide our faces from the wind
She got to me
She said: man at times like these it all becomes
So very clear
There's a meanness all around us
And a beauty to fear
So I stayed a little longer

We found a bench on which a famous guy had spent
His loneliness
And I asked her how she thought we got ourselves
Into this mess
She took some time to think, then answered
It′s just growing up, I guess
And by the time I had my answer
She was already gone

Oh summer's leaving
And she′s about to do the same
Oh I can't believe it
That we will let this slip away
Oh summer's leaving
And she′s about to do the same
Oh I can′t believe it
That we will let this slip away
