child of summer

First Aid Kit

Always wanted to be a child of summer
Maybe that would change my disposition
I ve been running around all these years
Praying for some for some kind of intermission
And I never minded loneliness
In fact, I craved it like a hunger
But now I find myself alone again
And the sorrow takes me under

Born under the full bright moon
I guess that s what made me crazy
Wonder how our love could fade away
Perhaps we just got lazy
I never minded loneliness
Until it came to claim m?
So when I found myself alone again
I cri?d like a baby

Oh, love
Keep the weight off my shoulders
Keep the wind at my back
Oh, love
If I m not there, am I on the right track?

Are you still wearing your blue raincoat?
The one that s torn at the shoulder
We used to dance and laugh and sing
With no thought of ever growing older
And I never needed reassurance
From some kind of higher power
But now I find myself wondering
In my lonely hour

And I keep thinking there s a place to go
Somewhere I can start over
I ll just wander this big old world
End up another deadbeat rover
But if I needed company
Would you be there to guide me?
If there s no path for me to take
Then I ll wait for it to find me

Oh, love
Keep the weight off my shoulders
Keep the wind at my back
Oh, love
If I m not there, am I on the right track?

Always wanted to be a child of summer
