summer s gone

Father John Misty

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
