summer's almost over
it flew by in the blink of an eye
now i am older and one day closer to dying
so i'll soak up this last bit of sunshine
let the clouds roll in - pretend everything is fine
you can't fight the seasons change
it'll drive you insane - it will only bring you pain
springtime was long ago
long forgotten are all the joys it brought me
i try to remember who i was and who i always wanted to be
so i'll soak up this last bit of sunshine
let the clouds roll in - pretend everything is fine
you can't fight the seasons change
it'll drive you insane - it will only bring you pain
the leaves are changing color now
winter is surely on the way
times will grow tougher - bones grow brittle with age
and you can't stop time without magical powers
though i have tried and wasted so many hours
i can't seem to find the spell
that guarantees i won't end up in hell
so i'll soak up this last bit of sunshine
let the clouds roll in - pretend everything is fine
you can't fight the seasons change
it'll drive you insane - it will only bring you pain
