About the Artist
Lyrics
That was the summer that followed the spring The sad anniversary of a thousand old things I was letting them go The words of Collette and a strange new perfume The drenching my senses and filling the room The heat from my body is a light in our eyes First, a surrender and then we could fly We were letting it go We're blinded to the beauty in our own lives But hours taken all I could get For five or six hours in the month of July The summer I read Collette The time was aligned and we learned how to crawl The bones were a prison and memory of all If it weren't for the past, I'd feel nothing at all And now I'm letting it go It's more than survival, the lesson I've learned For I've found salvation was quite a surprise That was the summer that followed the spring A new way of feeling a million more things We're blinded by the beauty in our own lives The hours taken all that I could get For five or six hours in the month of July The summer I read Collette I found Paris a hundred years late Call it sleeping in ?? My ear to the stone, I can hear her sing ?? I sold my silver to get myself there To a room with a candle up three flights of stairs That was the summer I let it all go Fulfilling my body with my heart and soul We're blinded to the beauty in our own lives I was taking all I could get For five or six hours in the month of July The summer I read Collette
