Sons of summer lyrics

Artist  : Carly simon 
Song : Sons of summer
 

(Billy Mernit)

It makes me smile
To think of what we dreamed of

Where are those sons of summer now
With their wild-haired women in their
patchwork gowns
Who could laugh the lights away
Nights on the beach and bay

The course on farms
And the course in the bar
Sweet smokin` in the back of the car
Always the first time shines to last like a
morning star
Like a morning star

It`s been a while since the last time we were
dancing
Where are those sons of summer now
With their long-limber ladies who all knew how
To chase the blues away
I`ve got the blues today

Your ivy days and your clubhouse ways
Wine mug nights when the music played
Love that is real will not fade away like a
morning star

Where are those sons of summer now
The winter has come
And you don`t know how to turn your
Dreams into coal
Your books won`t hold you
The woods get cold
And I feel too old
I begin to question your schoolboy soul
Clever remarks that once won my heart
When the fire won`t light they lose their spark
And I can`t help but get a little bit blue
thinking about the precious nothing we
Once knew
