I’m sitting here thinking about the trouble going down
And I can’t help but think about what's going around
I can’t believe it happened, I can’t believe it’s real
Just the latest in a series of unfortunate deals
I gotta leave the city, I want to turn and run
But it’s the last days of summer and
there’s still a lot of work here to be done
So I get up in the morning and try to rise above
Dig a little deeper for the people that I love
It’s a matter of survival, the fittest of the best
You can get a little crazy from perpetual tests
I gotta get back to the garden, there’s tending to be done
And it’s the last days of summer
so there’s not a lot of time left on the sun
Have you seen the sun shine, have you heard the wind cry
Or dreamt beneath the stars out shining in the night
I started watching the horizon and walking down a trail
Where the echo of your silence always hits me without fail
I know it doesn’t matter and it all rolls into one
Cuz in any given moment something new has just begun
But there amongst the chaos, like a diamond in the rough
You were shining like the moon and the stars up there above
So soon the leaves are turning then winter has its way
But it’s the last days of summer
and I want to see the smile on your face
And I saw the sun shine, and I heard the wind cry
And I dreamt beneath the stars out shining in the night
And I know I’ll feel alright when I know the time is right
But it’s the last days of summer
and I wanna go and sit outside a while
Yeah, it's the last days of summer
and I‘m gonna go and sit down by the fire
