Child of Summer

Always wanted to be a child of summer Maybe, that would change my disposition I've been running around all these years Praying for some kind of intermission And I never minded loneliness In fact, I craved it, like a hunger And now I find myself alone, again In the sorrow that takes me under Born under the full, bright moon I guess, that's what made me crazy Wonder how our love could fade away Perhaps, we just got lazy I never minded loneliness Until it came to claim me So when I found myself alone, again I cry like a baby Oh, love Keep the weight off my shoulders Keep the wind at my back Oh, love If I'm not there, am I on the right track? Are you still wearing your blue raincoat? The one that's torn at the shoulder We used to dance and laugh and sing With no thought of ever growing older And I never needed reassurance From some kind of higher power Now I find myself wandering in my lonely hours And I keep thinking there's a place to go Somewhere I can start over I'll just wander this big ol' world End up another deadbeat rover But if I needed company Would you be there to guide me? If there's no path for me to take Then I'll wait for it to find me Oh, love Keep the weight off my shoulders Keep the wind at my back Oh, love If I'm not there, am I on the right track? I've always wanted to be a child of summer Maybe, that would change my disposition
