Summer’s Gone

What becomes of the longing
Once your love's been spent
And the world becomes a stranger
But maybe not all that strange yet

What do you tell the madman
Who want's to see you dead
When against your will, comes wisdom
And 40 more years left ahead

Wish it all away, the heat of the day
Until summer's gone, until summer's gone

I drive around the city, the place I knew is gone
There's no fun left to fear but to Georgie it's still Babylon
The girls look good in riches, finer still in rags
Neon ships stretch across me, a lecherous old windbag

Wish for skies of grey in the heat of the day
Until summer's gone, until summer's gone
Until summer's gone, until summer's gone

But you eat a peach or you skin your knee
And time can't touch me
