The summer's life is good We ran down on the path in the woods To that old swimming hole Where we laugh and sing, stories are told We lived like children do We were kind to them And so brand new And I loved it then And I wonder what happened And may the hard times be gone And I'll learn what I've done wrong And let's leave it on this I took your wonder heart I'm sorry that I tore you apart And the summer went away The rains came and i could not stay With the birds i went south
Now I'm trying to get back somehow And I loved it then And I wonder what happened And may the hard times be gone And I'll learn what I've done wrong And let's leave it on this The winter's life is full of roads and cars And hash and fuel And I've forgotten how to talk Words that come, good they are not Guess I'm paying for what I've done The unknown crime hope forgiving will come Because I loved it then And I wonder what happened And I loved it then And I wonder what happened
