I FEEL SUMMER TURNING AWAY

 

A WALK TO A RUN

 

TAKING THE SUN

 

I UNDERSTAND ITS LEAVING

 

THE COLD WINDS TO BLOW

 

THE NIGHTS ARE GETTING LONGER

 

THE LEAVES ALL AFLAME

 

A SHADE OF SADNESS

 

SWEETEST DAYS ALL GONE

 

LEAVING JUST THE WONDER

 

OF WHAT'S TO COME

 

 

THE SKIES ARE TURNING SHADES OF GRAY

 

HUNTER TO A HARVEST MOON

 

THE GHOSTS OF SUMMER

 

STEAL ACROSS THE MISTY VALE

 

BLACK CROW SITTING ON A BALE

 

EVERYONE'S UNDER A SPELL 

 

I CAN ALWAYS TELL

 

 CHORUS

 

SIFTING SILENCE

 

WEIGHING WORDS

 

THAT DESCRIBE THESE FEELINGS

 

I HAVE INSIDE

 

SOMETHINGS FINISHED ITS DONE

 

IT WON'T BE AGAIN

 

HOPE YOUR MEMORIES

 

 ARE FULL OF SMILES YOU CAN TURN TO

 

IN THE TIME BETWEEN

 

 

DID YOU LEAVE SOMETHING BEHIND

 

WHAT DID YOU TAKE AWAY

 

UNTIL IT WAS GONE

 

THE BURNING SUN

 

THE BEAUTIFUL DREAMS

 

THE ENDLESS STARS FALL AWAY

 

AND ALL I KNOW IS

 

WHEN SUMMER FINALLY CREEPS AWAY

 

PART OF ME STILL WANTS TO STAY

 

IN SOME SUNSET

 

I CHANCED TO SEE

 

NOW THERE'S ONLY SKIES OF GRAY

 

AND MYSTERY

 

EMPTY WORLD UPSIDE DOWN

 

THERE'S NO ONE AROUND

 

SIFTING SILENCE

 

WEIGHING WORDS
