Lyrics

Looking in a window on a rainy day
Thinking about good things that I just threw away
Looking in the gutter, watching the trash go flowing by
Thinking it's summer, but there are only clouds in the sky

When I think about what we wasted, makes me sad
We never appreciated what we had
Now I'm standing in a doorway with my overcoat on
It really feels like summer's gone
So alone
Summer's gone

It should have been a laugh, it should have been fun
When I think of all the things that we did last summer
Now I look back, it seems such a crime
We couldn't appreciate it at the time

Now I'm standing in a doorway, thinking of summers gone by
It ought to make me happy, but it just makes me want to cry
I was riding in the car with my mum and dad
He was drivin' the car, the kids were drivin' him mad
Dad looked at us, then he looked at his wife
He must have wondered where we all came from
And then mum said, "dad, you know it won't last for long
Before you know it, summer's gone."
So alone
Summer's gone

I really blew it all, when I think it through
I really lost it all when I lost you
Now I'm standing in a doorway with water in my shoes
It really feels like, feels like summers gone
So alone
Summer's gone
Summer's gone, so alone
Summer's gone
