Summer Home - Typhoon
I promised you I'm never giving up
I won't give in
But now that my body's giving up
My legs are giving out my head is throwing up
It's hands
It's asking
Can we wait for the summer again
Can we hold out for summer again
Can we ever be whole again
It's how we start over
Starting over
It's how we start how we start over
It's how we start over
Starting over
It's how we start how we start over
My old house my childhood's tomb
It is a failing light but it will come back soon
A candle burns in your old room
Before it goes out I swear I will find you
My little sister I was two
The year that you were born and Ben came after you
And we all three shared gentle youth
Our mother combed our hair our father cleaned our wounds
Then a small thing happened or sunk it's tooth
And I was left behind in different shapes you move
In my peripheral sight I reach out for you
But when I turn my head I'm in an empty room
A faceless clock the hands unmoved
But for a layer of dust a cobweb or two
In a broken mirror I see my broken truths
Now when I comb my hair I pull the gray ones loose
My old house my childhood's tomb
It is a failing light but it will come back soon
In the backyard birds a dogwood blooms
I will come back home I will wait for you
I will wait for summer
Hold out for summer
I will wait for summer
I will hold out for summer
I will wait there's a promise land
Every man's heart there's a summer
