In another, younger day I could dream the time away In the universe inside my room And the world was really mine from June to September And if it wasn’t really so I was lucky not to know And I was lucky not to wonder why ‘cause a starry sky is all that I remember
A summer fly was buzzin’ every night when I was young In the gentle world my child-like senses knew And the world was just my cousin and the wind was just the tongue In the voice my lonely moments listened to
And I look at me today, all the dreams have gone away And I’m where I never thought I’d be Seeing things I never thought I’d see happening to me And I lay awake at night till the darkness goes to light Hearing voices calling out my name Droning over and again the same message through me
Cryin’ who’s your partner, who’s your darlin’ who’s your baby now? Who wakes up at night to pull you in? It don’t matter, you just make her lonely anyhow Don’t know why you even try to win
Oh this’ll never fly, get out while you can Look into the mirror say it’s not the same again Every single time, things just fall apart Slamming door, slipping pride, sad and angry heart
