Nine Summers Lost - Harry Manx

Words get the best of me

Life's on hold

Rain got me standing in my sad sunday clothes

My sad sunday clothes

Hearts can be broken only so many ways

Nine kids down in under thirty days

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

Value of a life

Some get sorry the young get old

They all feel they can't take no more

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

You dragged across the floor

Early morning took you away in a new car

On the way downtown it rained inside your heart

Rained inside your heart

Nine summers lost

Nine lovely little dreams

Nine summers lost

Words get the best of me

Words get the best of
