Summer Is Gone - Ron Pope

Cigarettes and innocence are scattered on the floor

It’s the first of October and the summer is gone

You can’t walk away and try claim that none of this was real

Sometimes autumn is confusing and I know exactly how you feel

And somewhere you want to go from here

Well, I’d rather learn to sleep alone

And I swear I die inside some nights

As the winter comes on, 'cause the summer is gone

Children’s games, freezing rain, and Carolina nights

Get confused out in Brooklyn where promises die

You can contemplate and half-explain and justify yourself

To anyone who wants to listen if your answers seem heartfelt

And somewhere you want to go from here

Well, I’d rather learn to sleep alone

And I swear I die inside some nights

As the winter comes on, 'cause the summer is gone

No one believes all the truth that you have while you dream

And no one believes

And no one believes, so please just stop screaming at me

Won’t you please just stop screaming at me?

Won’t you please just stop screaming at me?

Won’t you please just stop screaming at me?

Won’t you please just stop screaming at me?

Wherever you want to go from here

Well, I hope you learn to sleep alone

And I pray you die inside some nights

As the winter comes on, 'cause the summer is gone

Oh, the summer is gone

Oh, the summer is gone

Oh, the summer is gone
