Lyrics

Someone Somewhere (In Summertime)

Stay, I'm burning slow
With me in the rain
Walking in the soft rain
Calling out my name
See me burning slow

Brilliant days
Wake up on brilliant days
Shadows of brilliant ways
Will change all the time
Memories
Burning gold memories
Cold of day memories
Change me in these times

Somewhere there is some place
That one million eyes can't see
And somewhere there is someone
Who can see what I can see

Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime

Stay, I'm burning slow
With me in the rain
Walking in the soft rain
Calling out my name
See me burning slow
Moments burn
Slow burning golden nights
Once more see city lights
Holding candles to the flame

Brilliant days
Wake up on brilliant days
Shadows of brilliant ways
Change me all the time

Somewhere there is some place
That one million eyes can't see
And somewhere there is someone
Who can see what I can see

Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime

Someone, and somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone, somewhere in summertime
Someone
