Nine Summers Lost Songtext
von Harry Manx

Words get the best of me, life′s on hold
Rain got me standing in my sad Sunday clothes
My sad Sunday clothes
Hearts can be broken only so many ways
Nine kids down in under 30 days
In under 30 days

Yes, nine summers lost
Nine lovely little dreams
Nine summers lost
Words get the best of me


First came the fathers, then came the wives
All hurting to know the value of a life
Value of a life
Some get sorry, the young get old
They all feel they can take no more
Take no more

Yes, nine summers lost
Nine lovely little dreams
Nine summers lost
Words get the best of me

Darkened sounds creep through the wall next door
Say goodbye to the world you dragged across the floor
Dragged across the floor
Early morning took you away in a new car
On the way downtown, man, it rained inside your heart
Rained inside your heart

Yes, nine summers lost
Nine lovely little dreams
Nine summers lost
Words get the best of me
Words get the best of me
