Hey Summer - Todd Kerns

It’s Monday morning

Went to bed Saturday at noon

Tossed and turned and ran a marathon or two

Now every morning

I look at your side of the room

Preserved and undisturbed

Like tutankhamun’s tomb

Hey summer

Hey summer you can’t come to soon

The winter’s come and broke the one of us in two

Hey summer

Hey summer you can’t come to soon

Let the sun come out and take the place of you

In the garden

The weeds are wild and full of pain

The dandelions drunk on Vancouver rain

But in the desert

The wind is warm and full of hate

And unfamiliar to the boy who ran away

Hey summer where the hell are you?

How’s the life?

How’s the future look for you?

How does the past compare?

It’s lonely out in space

But at least I’ve got these voices in my head
