Ray Davies - Summer's Gone lyrics

Looking in a window on a rainy day Thinking about good things that I just threw away Looking in the gutter, watching the trash go flowing by Thinking it's Summer, but there are only clouds in the sky When I think about what we wasted, makes me sad We never appreciated what we had Now I'm standing in a doorway with my overcoat on It really feels like Summer's gone So alone Summer's gone It should have been a laugh, it should have been fun When I think of all the things that we did last Summer Now I look back, it seems such a crime We couldn't appreciate it at the time Now I'm standing in a doorway, thinking of Summers gone by It ought to make me happy, but it just makes me want to cry I was riding in the car with my mum and dad He was drivin' the car, the kids were drivin' him mad Dad looked at us, then he looked at his wife He must have wondered where we all came from And then mum said, "Dad, you know it won't last for long Before you know it, Summer's gone." So alone Summer's gone I really blew it all, when I think it through I really lost it all when I lost you Now I'm standing in a doorway with water in my shoes It really feels like, feels like Summers gone So alone Summer's gone Summer's gone, so alone Summer's gone
