The Kinks - Summer's Gone lyrics
[The Kinks - Summer's Gone lyrics]
Looking in a window on a rainy day
Thinking about good things that
I just threw away looking in the gutter
Watching the trash go flowing by
Thinking it's Summer
But there are only clouds in the sky
When I think about what we wasted
Makes me sad
We never appreciated what we had
Now I'm standing in a doorway
With my overcoat on
It really feels like Summer's gone so alone
Summer's gone
It should have been a laugh
It should have been fun
When I think of all the things
That we did last Summer
Now I look back, it seems such a crime
We couldn't appreciate it at the time
Now I'm standing in a doorway
Thinking of Summers gone by
It ought to make me happy
But it just makes me want to cry
I was riding in the car with my mum and dad
He was drivin' the car
The kids were drivin' him mad
Dad looked at us, then he looked at his wife
He must have wondered where we all came from
And then mum said, "Dad
You know it won't last for long
Before you know it, Summer's gone" so alone
Summer's gone
I really blew it all, when I think it through
I really lost it all when I lost you
Now I'm standing in a doorway
With water in my shoes
It really feels like, feels like Summers gone
So alone summer's gone
Summer's gone, so alone summer's gone
Thinking about good things that
I just threw away looking in the gutter
Watching the trash go flowing by
Thinking it's Summer
But there are only clouds in the sky
When I think about what we wasted
Makes me sad
We never appreciated what we had
Now I'm standing in a doorway
With my overcoat on
It really feels like Summer's gone so alone
Summer's gone
It should have been a laugh
It should have been fun
When I think of all the things
That we did last Summer
Now I look back, it seems such a crime
We couldn't appreciate it at the time
Now I'm standing in a doorway
Thinking of Summers gone by
It ought to make me happy
But it just makes me want to cry
I was riding in the car with my mum and dad
He was drivin' the car
The kids were drivin' him mad
Dad looked at us, then he looked at his wife
He must have wondered where we all came from
And then mum said, "Dad
You know it won't last for long
Before you know it, Summer's gone" so alone
Summer's gone
I really blew it all, when I think it through
I really lost it all when I lost you
Now I'm standing in a doorway
With water in my shoes
It really feels like, feels like Summers gone
So alone summer's gone
Summer's gone, so alone summer's gone
