Atticus - Summer lyrics

When I awaken from the night She's the first sight to reach my eyes And when I lay down all sore from flight She stays with me all through the night She's only human and she cries I wipe her softened, tear-stained eyes She's never been to heaven She don't even think it's there But she's everything to me When life gets hard and I lose my pride She's always on my side And when words between family fail Her love helps me prevail She's my everything When she laughs, I cry, and she's often wondered why I smile and sigh, she's my summertime And in the winter fires burn, whenever she's around And in the darkness, she is light Flying high, a burning kite And in the scorching heat, she is rain Cool me off and ease my pain When she cries, I die And it's no wonder at all, she's by my side She is my only sunshine And in the winter fires burn, whenever she's around
