More Than the Summer

Didn't realize,
What was happening,
As one by one,
We left.

The sun beat down,
to dry the tears in your eyes,
We said goodbye.

And then we started to,
Count down the afternoons,
We're leaving soon.

Oh we swung back and forth,
Staring out to the Northern sky,
The direction of my home.

And now the shadows were looming larger,
We felt the august steaming colder.
More than the summer,
Was coming to an end.

Sitting in silence next to you,
The preacher said "talk and start anew",
Our faces staring at our feet,
Walking warm in the concrete,
We made sense of what is to be,

And now the shadows are falling over,
We felt september turn to winter.
More than the summer,
Was coming to an end.

Ooh ooh ooh And then a week passed,
Since I had seen you last,
I drove to Santa Barbara.

Oh and then in your place,
Filling your body space,
It wasn't you it wasn't you it wasn't ohhhh.

And now the shadows are starting over,
We felt the June winds blowing warmer.
More than the summer,
Was coming to an end.
