Cruel Summer

It's been a cruel summer The sun has been hid by the storms My darling was bewitched by another Her black magic tricks stole his heart I saw her scheming as she twirled her hair So long and black like the storms She caught my darling's eye, and as quickly as lightning I muttered a lonesome goodbye It's been a cruel summer The kind that makes grown men turn pale My heart had been crushed by another I could not compete with black hair I saw her scheming as she twirled her hair So long and black like the storms She caught my darling's eye and as quickly as lightning I muttered a lonesome goodbye She caught my darling's eye and as quickly as the lightning I muttered a lonesome goodbye
