Summerfly
Em Am B7 Em
Verse 1
(
Em)In another younger day I could dream the time away in the (
Am)universe inside my room.
And the (
B7)world was really mine from June until (
Em) September.
(
Em)And if it wasn't really so, well I was lucky not to know,
and I was (
Am)lucky not to wonder why,
Cause the (
B7)Summer time is all that I (
Em)remember.
Chorus 1
(
Em)Summerfly was buzzing every (
C)night when I was young,
In the (
B7)gentle world my child like senses (
Em)knew.
(
Em)When the world was just my cousin
and the (
C)wind was just the tone,
In the (
B7)voice my lonely moments listened (
Em)to.
Verse 2
And I look at me today and the dreams have gone away,
and I am where I never thought I would be.
Seeing things I never thought I would see happening to me.
And I lay awake at night while the darkness turns to light,
Hearing voices calling out my name.
Droning over and again the same message to me.
Chorus 2
Crying who's your partner, who's your darling, who's your baby now.
Who wakes up at night to pull you in.
Well, it don't matter you'll just make her lonely anyhow,
I don't know why you even try to win.
