Lyrics

Summer In The Grey City

Feels like Summer only drove by
Whistled out a warm breeze, then called it a day
The good times they just seemed to fly by
Songs of sun and fun just faded into grey

Dancing as the days grew longer
She was my hero laughing at the rain
Felt like we were getting stronger
Building every moment into a refrain

But then she’s like a child afraid of the thunder
When it's lightning that's the threat
Beauty is the blanket she’s hiding under
Her orchid armor will fail her yet

Feels like Summer only half tried
Scattered out some sweet blooms, then scurried away
The blossoms softly under clouds cried
As their petals turned brown and began to fray

And she’s like a child afraid of the thunder
When it's lightning that's the threat
Beauty is the blanket she’s hiding under
Her orchid armor will fail her yet

Let’s ride a star to Autumn
Where we can rebuild from the bottom
Colors falling from the pumpkin sky
Cov’ring orchids that too eas’ly died
Sowing future gardens fortified

Feels like Summer breathed a deep sigh
Settled into twilight, as October loomed
Beauty’s blanket isn’t quite dry
Underneath the cold light of a Hunter’s Moon

Don’t be like a child afraid of the thunder
When it's lightning that's the threat
Shed the mantle you're hiding under
Your Autumn mettle will save you yet
