Summerfly

Maura O’Connell

In another younger day I could dream the time away
In the universe inside my room
And the world was really mine from june til september
And if it wasn’t really so I was lucky not to know
And I was lucky not to wonder why
Because the summer time is all that I remember

A summer fly was buzzin’ every night when I was young
In the gentle world my childlike senses knew
And the world was just my cousin
And the wind was just the tongue
In the voice my lonely moments listened to

And I look at me today all the dreams have gone away
And I’m where I never thought I would be
Seein’ things I never thought I would see happen’en to me
And I lay awake at night til the darkness turns to
Light
Hearin’ voices callin’ out my name
Dronin’ over and again the same message to me

Cryin’ who’s your partner, who’s your darlin’, who’s
Your baby now?
Who wakes up at night to pull you in
But it don’t matter, you’ll just make her lonely anyhow
I don’t know why you even try to win

Cryin’ who’s your partner, who’s your darlin’, who’s
Your baby now?
Who wakes up at night to pull you in
But it don’t matter, you’ll just make her lonely anyhow
I don’t know why you even try to win

But it don’t matter, you’ll just make her lonely anyhow
I don’t know why you even try to win
