summer’s come and gone
the green is giving way
and i am turning circles every year
looking for a lesson
that is trying to be taught
as schoolbooks gather dust down in the dark
but i really got to know you in the winter, didn’t i?
we thought our time was over
but we strengthen as the snow flies
summer’s come and gone
i’m rushing like a fool
looking for some stillness by and by
the unofficial new year’s eve
moving carloads of your life
all the dominos are trading homes tonight
but i really got to know you...
summer’s come and gone
but the silver, faint tattoo
still decorates my finger from your ring
and if we never find a springtime or a home
i’ll be your september whenever summer comes and goes
‘cause i really got to know you...
summer’s come and gone
come and gone
