Ghosts of Summer

Moon shining real bright
Could be a reading light
Snow covering the hill out back
Close on to midnight
Winter outside laying still
Inside shadows are creeping round
Feel myself drifting off
Drowning in summer sounds

Years gone by move through my mind
A night full of dreams and fireflies
First touch, first kiss
Holding tight that carny ride
Field in flower, lightning strike
Driving nowhere, skeeter bites
Hunkering down, at the drive in
Sweet hello sad good-bye

Long long gone ghosts of Summer
Long long gone ghosts of Summer

Love letter never answered
Girls growing mio mama
Sly glances taking chances
First hit of marijuana
Sax wailing ocean background
Found an alky bought us cold beer
Beauty lying on the beach
Too shy, I never asked her
