Cheryl Wheeler - Summer Fly lyrics

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 the summer time is all that I remember.

A summer fly was buzzin' every night when I was young

In the gentle world my childlike 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

Seein' things I never thought I'd see happenin' to me

And I lay awake at night till the darkness goes to light

Hearin' voices callin' out my name

Callin' over and again the same message to 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...
