When Summer Is Gone
In twilight's early shadows, when summer has passed
A wandering lost soul whose heart has strayed
A soul adrift upon an autumn night
Longing for love's warmth and to bathe in a deeper ecstasy
Eyes once strong now weakened with age, blinded by tears
Longing to be free
In this autumnal time when some freedoms reign
How wonderful it would feel to be free from all earthly pain
Needing a connection and loving hands
A kind soul to guide through the rest of this troubled land
Just a few kind words and a gentle touch
Would help this autumn to heal a heart
Love a well-known awesome balm, would heal emotions, and
Chase those shadows which tear us apart
At summer's end when those dark, dark nights
Appear upon the scene chasing my sad heart
Let me find solace and a loving soul
Who understands summer is gone
Then winter will come, and we'll be alone
The passage will open to carry us back home
