lyrics

The sun, the sworn off sun of summer here
hides behind another mood
A tropic darkness settles in
regardless of the moon

I'm not trying to pull anything,
there is no fate that I can fight
And I promise that I will keep still
when I hear it coming from behind

The rain, erratic rain of summer here
relentless, volatile,
doing what it can to scare you off,
make you walk another mile

I'm not trying to pull anything,
there is no fate that I can fight,
but I don't care to keep hidden
what it hides behind

The bud, the blooming bud of summer here
so poisonous a flower,
doing what it can to scare you off,
make you kill another hour

I've resigned myself to anything,
there is no fate that I can fight
Guess I won't go on looking for
what may befall me in the night

Tortured souls, seagulls and summer here
I stay, but at what cost
The city that I call my home
drives me crazy from love loss

I've resigned myself to anything
and I can't be sure it's right
This city that I call my home
turns another face at night

Living, loving leaving summer here,
tried to promise that I'd stay
I'm going now, I don't know how long
but I'll be back again someday
