The Summer Dies Tonight
from Dream Islands by Squirrel
lyrics
The county fair got packed up
The pools have all been closed
I've noticed the sun setting too soon
And the wilting of every rose
I've run all out of popsicles
The sky is grey and white
And everybody's saying
The summer dies tonight
No one knows how it got started
No one knows how it'll end
But everybody fears it won't come next year
Oh summer, please come again
Please come again
They say we might prolong it
By turning up the heat
And opening our windows
And warming up the street
But this morning the world felt colder
The leaves have all turned red
My mom's in the pool crying
I think that summer's dead
No one knows how it got started
No one knows how it'll end
But everybody fears it won't come next year
Oh summer, please come again
Please come again
The pools have all been closed
I've noticed the sun setting too soon
And the wilting of every rose
I've run all out of popsicles
The sky is grey and white
And everybody's saying
The summer dies tonight
No one knows how it got started
No one knows how it'll end
But everybody fears it won't come next year
Oh summer, please come again
Please come again
They say we might prolong it
By turning up the heat
And opening our windows
And warming up the street
But this morning the world felt colder
The leaves have all turned red
My mom's in the pool crying
I think that summer's dead
No one knows how it got started
No one knows how it'll end
But everybody fears it won't come next year
Oh summer, please come again
Please come again
