It’s been a long, long time,
Since when I knew this boy.
He said he’d come alive each night without his toys.
Not trying to understand,
I said he’s crazy, crazy, crazy.
Still he stood his ground,
Never ceased to amaze me.
I won’t try to change the story,
I could never be involved.
But I remember these times, from way behind.
It’s only summertime, It’s only summertime, It’s only summertime, summertime.
This man I knew not so much long ago,
Reminds me of you so much I cried
To be taken back to the empty home,
Where I wait for you, (for you), for you, (for you), for you, (for you).
I won’t try to change the story,
I could never be involved.
But I remember these times, from way behind.
It’s only summertime, It’s only summertime, It’s only summertime, summertime.
Some place in time
I met a girl so kind.
She showed me how she lived
I tried to take her mind
But a life so pure, could never stay this way.
Don’t open doors to avoid starting over again.
There is a woman I’ve seen who made it seem so clear.
I watched her run through bad times like she felt no fear.
To breathe in for her
If I only live longer to see how her story grows
It grows and grows.
I won’t try to change the story,
I could never be involved.
But I remember these times, from way behind.
It’s only summertime. Its only summertime, Its only summertime, summertime.
It’s only summertime, summertime, summertime, summertime,
It’s only summertime, summertime, whoa oh oh ohohoh ohh
It’s only summertime, summertime, summertime, summertime
It’s only summertime, summertime, whoa oh oh ohohoh ohh

school and hip hop in clubs, combined all with an abstract blend of old-school soul, blues and electronica to create her own style.
The ensuing sound invites you into darker territories and tells of intimate secrets with a warmth and originality that’s impossible to ignore....more
