Jewel of the Summertime

When I was eighteen I didn't know pain when the sun was high Burnt faced, shadows erased And I knew I'd be alright Left that behind me (Uh-huh) Something blinded me (Uh-huh) That reminded me (Uh-huh) Of a better space and time Miles away Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime When I turned twenty-one I saw the sun pulling out of sight All that I met were dark silhouettes Stumbling in the night But we collided (Uh-huh) And I finally (Uh-huh) Got a light on me (Uh-huh) Now I'm bathing in the bright Ultra-violet rays Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Time, time, time I left that behind me (Uh-huh) And something blinded me (Uh-huh) Yeah reminded me (Uh-huh) Of a better space and time Miles away Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summertime Jewel of the summer- time
