From: «Zeisel,Franck»
«Summer’s nearly over»
By the CATCHERS
Em C
D D
Sing a song of wisdom
For a summer’s children
And her body’s broken
And her hands clutch at stars
Cradle summer’s falling
In the arms that you once bore them
And the second’s crawling
To the lake their wounds
Chorus 1:
Am Bm
And summer’s nearly over
We are not yet safe
(2 times)
We could hide away
Find peace in some shaded place
Because the sun seems too strong
And the rain, of course
She washes everything away
Into the sea, into its belly
Where summer’s children play
Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
G C
Em D
Come down with me now
To where the summer (misten?) its rage
Come down I want you
To (tether?) the deeper me
As the songs of summer
Went down in numbers
And the moments lost their speed
I have felt a shiver
I heard a golden whisper
That seem to call after me
Chorus 2
G C
Em D
Follow me down, Follow me down
Follow me down to summer’s (graze?)
Come down with me now
I will show you tragic things.
