Tell me where oh where has summer gone It hasn't come this year You always cry when swallows fly With doubts in search of dreams He's a working man Can't you understand And he sweats for a man's release But you've seen the lie In the children's eyes As heroes turn to tears Tell me how This life won't let you go Tell me how This same old fool Keeps coming back to you It's the same old scene it's always been Men flex muscle fast And men pull punches after hours When the moments spell is cast So you take your chance At the smalltown dance Where romances is up and gone It's Friday night You're another man's wife And you waltz that lie till dawn Tell me how This life won't let you go Tell me how This same old fool Keeps coming back to you Tell me where oh were has summer gone It hasn't come this year You always cry when swallows fly They confirm your darkest fears When a bottle strikes Down one man's life And his children's lives as well The full moon pulls you Many times To the outer edge of hell Tell me how This life won't let you go Tell me how This same old fool Keeps coming back to you
