another winter the renters go home the maple goes from crimson to brown oh god my god another winter in a summer town the beach is empty they covered the pools the patio umbrellas come down oh god my god another winter in a summer town one little leaf adrift in the breeze refuses to fall from the sky blown by the wind it clings to the trees unwilling to wither and die the summer s over but i m still a girl cavorting in my carnival crown from blossom to blossom i buzz like a bee then glance in the mirror and who do i see a middle aged woman inhabiting me because it s winter in a summer town yesterday s dreams a faded bouquet roses that died on the vine yesterday seems more real than today it s difficult drawing the line my season ended a long time ago but no one took the party tent down the pink paper lanterns still twinkle in place my young navy hero his tender embrace that sapphire blue ocean oh how can i face another winter in a summer town in a summer town
