Tom Mcrae - Summer Of John Wayne lyrics

A summer of John Wayne Getting older Reel after reel And playing old soldiers With old wounds You know how that feels And a summer of searching The underworld An arrow in my heel And the winding down of days And the speeding of time won't change But I know you say nothing good lasts forever Some things burn bright But burn themselves out to embers And these weather conversations And small talk Steal my hours away And I gave away my best to strangers Day after day And the winding down of days And the speeding of time won't change But I know you say Nothing good lasts forever Some things burn bright But burn themselves out to embers Your love is a cold, cold place my dear The seasons change those ghosts appear And every sound is an echo of yesterday. And suddenly I fall through the cracks in time And I'm standing here with your hand in mine And I turn around to see you there's no one there But I know you say Nothing good lasts forever You will forget But I will always remember, the time
