The summer's life is good
we ran down on the path in the woods
to that old swimming hole
where we laugh and sing, stories are told
We lived like children do
We were kind to them
and so brand new
And I loved it then
And I wonder what happened
And may the hard times be gone
And I'll learn what I've done wrong
And let's leave it on this
I took your wonder heart
I'm sorry that I tore you apart
and the summer went away
the rains came and i could not stay
with the birds i went south
now I'm trying to get back somehow
Because I loved it then
And I wonder what happened
And may the hard times be gone
And I'll learn what I've done wrong
And let's leave it on this
The winter's life is full
of roads and cars and hash and fuel
and I've forgotten how to talk
words that come, good they are not
guess I'm paying for what I've done
the unknown crime hope forgiving will come
Because I loved it then
And I wonder what happened
And I loved it then
And I wonder what happened
we ran down on the path in the woods
to that old swimming hole
where we laugh and sing, stories are told
We lived like children do
We were kind to them
and so brand new
And I loved it then
And I wonder what happened
And may the hard times be gone
And I'll learn what I've done wrong
And let's leave it on this
I took your wonder heart
I'm sorry that I tore you apart
and the summer went away
the rains came and i could not stay
with the birds i went south
now I'm trying to get back somehow
Because I loved it then
And I wonder what happened
And may the hard times be gone
And I'll learn what I've done wrong
And let's leave it on this
