Summerfly

Cheryl Wheeler

[Verse 1]
In another younger day, I could dream the time away
In the universe inside my room
And the world was really mine from June 'til September
And if it wasn't really so, I was lucky not to know
And I was lucky not to wonder why
Because the summer time is all that I remember

[Chorus]
Summer flowers buzzin' every night when I was young
In the gentle would my child like senses knew
When the world was just my cousin and the wind was just the tone In the voice my lonely moments listened 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
Seein' things I never thought I would see happenin' to me
And I lay awake at night 'til the darkness turns to light
Hearin' voices callin' out my name
Dronin' over and again the same message to me

[Chorus]
Cryin' who's your partner, who's your darlin', who's your baby now?
Who wakes up at night to pull you in?
But it don't matter, you'll just make her lonely anyhow
I don't know why you even try to win

[Dobro Solo]

[Chorus]
Cryin' who's your partner, who's your darlin', who's your baby now?
Who wakes up at night to pull you in?
But it don't matter, you'll just make her lonely anyhow
I don't know why you even try to win

[Outro]
But it don't matter, you'll just make her lonely anyhow
I don't know why you even try to win
