there's nothing you can do to deserve it
you dont have to earn his love
as it falls like rain, dont stay inside
soak up his loving mercy
wet clothes with a peaceful heart


so long sweet summer
i stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays
so long sweet slumber
i fell into you and now youre gracefully falling away
hey thanks
thanks for that summer
its cold where youre going
i hope that your heart is always warm
i gave you the best
i gave you the best i had
and passed on the letters
and pased on the best that i had
so
so long sweet summer

blood and warmth
will you return to my hands
so that i can make a fist
so that i can feel
so that i can wipe my cheeks
and not make ice
