Tom McRae - Summer of John Wayne lyrics
[Tom McRae - Summer of John Wayne lyrics]
A summer of John Wayne getting older
Reel after reel and playing old soldiers
With old wounds you know how that feels
And a summer of searching the underworld
An arrow in my heel
And the winding down of days
And the speeding of time won’t change
But, I know you say
Nothing good lasts forever
Some things burn bright
But burn themselves out to embers
And these weather conversations
And small talk steal my hours away
And I gave away my best to strangers
Day after day and the winding down of days
And the speeding of time won’t change
But, I know you say
Nothing good lasts forever
Some things burn bright
But burn themselves out to embers
Your love is a cold, cold place my dear
The seasons change those ghosts appear
And every sound is an echo of yesterday
And suddenly I fall through
The cracks in time
And I’m standing here with your hand in mine
And I turn around to see
You there’s no one there but, I know you say
Nothing good lasts forever you will forget
But, I will always remember, the time
Reel after reel and playing old soldiers
With old wounds you know how that feels
And a summer of searching the underworld
An arrow in my heel
And the winding down of days
And the speeding of time won’t change
But, I know you say
Nothing good lasts forever
Some things burn bright
But burn themselves out to embers
And these weather conversations
And small talk steal my hours away
And I gave away my best to strangers
Day after day and the winding down of days
And the speeding of time won’t change
But, I know you say
Nothing good lasts forever
Some things burn bright
But burn themselves out to embers
Your love is a cold, cold place my dear
The seasons change those ghosts appear
And every sound is an echo of yesterday
And suddenly I fall through
The cracks in time
And I’m standing here with your hand in mine
And I turn around to see
You there’s no one there but, I know you say
Nothing good lasts forever you will forget
But, I will always remember, the time
