Lyrics

In another younger day
I could dream the time away
In the universe inside my room
And the world was really mine
From June 'til September
And if it wasn't really so
I was lucky not to know
And I was lucky not to wonder why
Because the summertime
Is all that I remember
Summer flowers buzzing
Every night when I was young
In the gentle world
My childlike senses knew
And the world was just my cousin
And the wind was just the tone
In the voice my lonely moments listened to
And I look at me today
And the dreams have gone away
And I am where I never thought I would be
Seeing things I never thought I would see
Happening to me
And I lay awake at night
'Til the darkness turns to light
Hearing voices calling out my name
Droning over and again
The same message to me
Crying, "Who's your partner?
Who's your darling?
Who's your baby now?
Who wakes up at night to pull you in?
But it don't matter
You'll just make her lonely anyhow
I don't know why you even try to win"
Crying, "Who's your partner?
Who's your darling?
Who's your baby now?
Who wakes up at night to pull you in?
But it don't matter
You'll just make her lonely anyhow
I don't know why you even try to win
But it don't matter
You'll just make her lonely anyhow
I don't know why you even try to win"
