Nine Summers Lost

Hearts can be broken only so many ways
Nine kids down in under thirty days
Nine summers lost… Nine lovely little dreams
Nine summers lost… Words get the best of me First came the fathers Then came their wives
All hurting to know the value of a life
Some get sorry the young get old
They all feel they can’t take no more
Nine summers lost… Nine lovely little dreams
Nine summers lost… Words get the best of me Darkened sounds creep thru the wall next door
Say goodbye to the world you dragged across the floor
Early morning took you away in a new car
On the way downtown it rained inside your heart
