Summerfly - Maura O'connell

Written by：Cheryl Wheeler

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 buzzing 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

Seeing things I never thought

I would see happened to me

And I lay awake at night

Til the darkness turns to light

Hearing voices calling out my name

Drowning over and again

The same message to me

Crying who's your partner

Who's your darling

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

Crying who's your partner

Who's your darling

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
