Trying to get away into a Soft Summer Song
To recapture something I had long ago
But all I have is a copy of the words inside my head
The original I'll never again know

The leaves turned emerald green and I became aware of something
Stronger than the dream I'd had of life
Cause things are never quite the way you picture them by the way
Have you seen my wife?

Now, the first time that I saw you you'd already started burning
The hot coals in your eyes told me the truth
You'd been sneaking extra hits of happiness
(You just couldn't refuse)

I waited till the dawn for you to meet me here tonight
I'm hungry and I'm cold, why you keep me out?
Take me into your world and I'll show you one outside
Ain't that really what it's all about
Trying to get away into a Soft Summer Song
