In another younger day I could dream the time away 
In the universe inside my room 
And the world was really mine from june to september 
And if it wasn't really so I was lucky not to know 
And I was lucky not to wonder why 
'cause a pure and golden high is all that I remember 

summer fly was buzzin' every night 
When I was young 
In the gentle world my childlike senses knew 
And the world was just my cousin 
And the wind was just the tongue 
In the voice my lonely moments listened to 

And I look at me today all the dreams have gone away 
And I'm where I never thought I'd be 
Seein' things I never thought I'd see happen to me 
And I lay awake at night till the darkness goes to light 
Hearin' voices callin' out my name 
Dronin' over and again the same message to me 

Cryin' who's your partner, who's your darlin', who's your baby now? 
Who wakes up at night to pull you in 
It don't matter, you just make her lonely anyhow 
Don't know why you even try to win
