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
