End of Summer

You can live your whole life like a carnival ride

Behind the wheel of a car that you drive

But you can go your whole life without reading the signs

From the air that you breathe to the thoughts in your mind

Where was the magic in your touch?

It faded out helpless like the pink pale dusk, well

You never could see the end of summer

End of summer

End of summer

You never could see the end of summer comin'

When the day starts to ask for the night's reply

Were you told there was gold in that sunset sky?

Was there a promise of dawn in the night's advance?

Sewn into the seam of a second chance?

What happened to the magic touch?

It faded out helpless like the pink pale dusk, well

You never could see (etc)

Oooh, I need an explanation

For this day and age

But there isn't one

You can go your whole life without feeling the pain

But one day it will fall just as sure as the rain, rain, rain

You never could see (etc)
