Summer Rain

(album: Patchwork - 2020)

What happened to that simple smile?
The laughing boy, the dancing child
He walked the world and felt every mile
Now he aches when he wakes up

What became of happiness?
Locked away in some forgotten chest
Next to grandma's wedding dress
Her pearls and her make up

And oh my love
Where did you go?
Did you burn out quick?
Did you fade out slow?
And oh my friend
Do you still remain
In a photograph
When we danced and laughed and played
In the summer rain?

What happened to the spark in your eye
The fire in your belly
And the sun in your sky?
They burnt away and left you feeling dry
Now you're thirsty for something more

Oh my love
Where did you go?
Did you burn out quick?
Did you fade out slow? Oh
And oh my friend
Do you still remain
In a photograph
When we danced and laughed and played
In the summer rain?
