A Summer Wasting

Summer in winter

Winter in springtime

You heard the birds sing

Everything will be fine

I spent the summer wasting

The time was passed so easily

But if the summer's wasted

How come that I could feel so free

I spent the summer wasting

The sky was blue beyond compare

A photograph of myself

Is all I have to show for

Seven weeks of river walkways

Seven weeks of staying up all night

I spent the summer wasting

The time was passed so pleasantly

Say cheerio to books now

The only things I'll read are faces

1 spent the summer wasting

Under a canopy of

Seven weeks of reading papers

Seven weeks of river walkways

Seven weeks of feeling guilty

Seven weeks of staying up all night

Summer in winter

Winter is springtime

You heard the bird say

Everything will be fine
