Lyrics
A Single Summer
(c) 2005 Andrew Richardson
The butterfly and cricket so lightly dance and sing
Thier happy hearts will fill this world for but a single spring-
But walking through this Autumn park with thoughts of winter's snow
A part within me envies them for where they'll never go
Cos dont we all really only truly live a single summer?
It was like a miracle, A full solar eclipse
A beauty queen here in this town, my name upon her lips
Cheap red wine, days dancing, sunburned shoulders, holding tight
we wore that youth and confidence like diamonds in the night
and dont we all really only truly live a single summer?
Those magic days were like this bonfire as it starts to burn
As crackling sparks of summers leaves take flight and wont return
And I left for spain to go to school - she said shed do the same
But in the end her father stopped her and she never came
and dont we all really truly live a single summer?
That first love is a fragile thing and though we all pretend
That its the start of greater things it really is the end
For when those wings are broken in the autumns wind and rain
Like the summers dragonflies we'll never fly again
and dont we all really truly live a single summer?
and didnt we only really truly live that single summer?
