Child of Summer

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 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 me So when I found myself alone again I cried 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 laughand sing With no thought of ever growing older And I never needed reassurance From some kind of higher power But now I find myself wandering 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 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 Maybe that would change my disposition
