Left in Summer

And it shimmers, shimmers sometimes,
Drenched in gold leaf sands,
Forgone in hot nights,
And lost in sun soaked hands.
It was glazed over in time,
In faint glimmers through the dust,
It was buried so deep beneath,
Once in love, twice lust, because...

Sleeping through the night yeah,
Is not a game I play,
You ask if I'm alright?
No I'm not but it's okay.
I know that this is over,
A dead end street today,
When this love is all gone,
But it still leads me astray.

And the memories are fading now,
From the Summer that we left behind,
When we fell into the air as one,
Before we hit the wall at the great divide.

Crashed into far lands,
In beautiful skies of royal blue,
And on these sun drenched streets,
That remain just outside our view.
Yeah the moment will come,
When the sun will then set the tone,
Though we know it's gonna be a long night,
Without taking you home, because...

Sleeping through the night yeah,
Is not a game I play,
You ask if I'm alright?
No I'm not but it's okay.
I know that this is over,
A dead end street today,
When this love is all gone,
But it still leads me astray.
(And it leads me astray)

And the memories are fading now,
From the Summer that we left behind,
When we fell into the air as one,
Before we hit the wall at the great divide.

Memories burned away,
In firefights so rare,
And on this cold dead wasteland,
That now carries my cares.
Your words they carry no dust,
And the air is as dead as night,
But Father Time yeah he told me straight,
That I will never get it right, because...

Sleeping through the night yeah,
Is not a game I play,
You ask if I'm alright?
No I'm not but it's okay.
I know that this is over,
A dead end street today,
When this love is all gone,
But it still leads me astray.

And the memories are fading now,
From the Summer that we left behind,
When we fell into the air as one,
Before we hit the wall at the great divide.
In a time when we owned the night,
When I know I cannot ask you to stay,
But for a moment raised above the sky,
It's letting go that's the price I pay.
