J. Robert Howard – Last Day Of Summer lyrics
The sun rises, on a length of ocean sand
I see her standing, watching the tide roll slowly in
And I wonder, what mystery lies in her minds eye
As I wait, only wait...
I see her start to cry
I take a step closer, a young girl of seventeen
Portrait of woman, still maybe caught somewhere in between
A cool wind is blowing, keeping time with the flowing tide
As I wait, only wait...
I sense a heavy sigh
Where does the time go
You wanted to stay young forever
When does the love come
The love you've only dreamed of
She starts walking, with the water at her feet
The tide eternal, the child of innocence so sweet
Age and beauty, a common bond between the two
As I wait, only wait...
I feel my tears fall too
Where does the time go
You wanted to stay young forever
When does the love come
The love you've only dreamed of
(musical Interlude)
The sun is setting, shadows fall across the sand
The young girl running, to catch a time so far from hand
And I wait, only wait...
For a time thats somehow warmer
But it won't come, for now is the Last Day of Summer
I see her standing, watching the tide roll slowly in
And I wonder, what mystery lies in her minds eye
As I wait, only wait...
I see her start to cry
I take a step closer, a young girl of seventeen
Portrait of woman, still maybe caught somewhere in between
A cool wind is blowing, keeping time with the flowing tide
As I wait, only wait...
I sense a heavy sigh
Where does the time go
You wanted to stay young forever
When does the love come
The love you've only dreamed of
She starts walking, with the water at her feet
The tide eternal, the child of innocence so sweet
Age and beauty, a common bond between the two
As I wait, only wait...
I feel my tears fall too
Where does the time go
You wanted to stay young forever
When does the love come
The love you've only dreamed of
(musical Interlude)
The sun is setting, shadows fall across the sand
The young girl running, to catch a time so far from hand
And I wait, only wait...
For a time thats somehow warmer
But it won't come, for now is the Last Day of Summer
