Lyrics
summer please come set me free
this winter's got a hold on me
wandered for miles of the path
can't say that I know the way back
sarah she left yesterday
won't be me to stand in her way
cause' sunday I'll ride to the tracks
can't say if I'll ever be back
back to the start, fill missing part
wait for it, and it will come
bask in the sun, fortunate one
you were born, you will die
times they will come to an end
though fortune may not be a friend
life is not still in it's path
and summer will guide the way back
back to the start, fill missing part
wait for it, and it will come
bask in the sun, fortunate one
leaves will change from green to red
come lay to rest your weary head
sun shone bright today, pray for the leaves it's here to stay
the sun shone bright today, pray for the grass it's here to stay
