Summer - Frank Hamilton, Draper

Summer where have you been?

It’s the first week in september and you’ve only just walked in

I’ve been trying to remember how you feel upon my skin,

Oh summer, where’ve you been?

Summer, settle down.

It’s the first time that the rain has left to find another town

I’ve been waiting by the window hoping you might come around,

oh summer, let’s settle down

And I hope it lasts forever

And I hope you stick around

You can change your mind

But you’ll never change the weather

In this town

Summer, glad you’re here

Haven’t seen your face enough it’s been a long and tiring year

And I’ve been swimming through the months hoping my ship would reappear,

Oh summer, so glad you’re here

And I hope it lasts forever

And I hope you stick around

You can change your mind

But you’ll never change the weather

In this town

Lover, welcome back

When you left I was surrounded by the things that I lack

Were trying to move on by putting papers over cracks

Oh lover but now your back.

Oh summer, now you’e back

Oh summer — so glad you’re back

And I hope it lasts forever

And I hope you stick around

You can change your mind

But you’ll never change the weather

In this town

And I hope we’re still together

When we’re 6 feet under ground

And you can change your mind

But you’ll never change the weather in this town

Nothing last forever in this town
