Summer on Fire Songtext
von Julie Felix

A summer a minute, a decade an hour
Before the fruit there′s a delicate flower
Gonna grow, grow
Listen to the seasons glow

Petals patterns on the page
Puppets on the slippery stage
If September cries with rain
Will the player strut in vain
Shout his lines in Winters face
Will his performance be a trace
In the torn and tattered quilt of time


Tell me you my friend did you share your load
With the passing months along the road
Did you give them your gaze and breathe their scent
Did you try to understand what each change meant
Did you taste, did you touch, did you love, did you grow
Can you sing with the wind, fall like the snow
Drift like the clouds break like ice
Flow like a river giving love not advice
You like a flower use the sun to transpire
You like October set the summer on fire

I'm riding a spiral or is it a wheel
Your thoughts are instructed by all that you feel
It goin round, round
Listen to the changing sound

Sometimes fast and sometimes slow
Will November really know
How to face the darkening air
Will December this time share
The weight of falling leaves and dreams
Will Winters needle mend the seams
Of the torn and tattered quilt of time


Tell me you my friend did you share your load
With the passing months along the road
Did you give them your gaze and breathe their scent
Did you try to understand what each change meant
Did you taste, did you touch, did you love, did you grow
Can you sing with the wind, fall like the snow
Drift like the clouds break like ice
Flow like a river giving love not advice
You like a flower use the sun to transpire
You like October set the summer on fire

Tell me you my friend did you share your load
With the passing months along the road
Did you give them your gaze and breathe their scent
Did you try to understand what each change meant
Did you taste, did you touch, did you love, did you grow
Can you sing with the wind, fall like the snow
Drift like the clouds break like ice
Flow like a river giving love not advice
You like a flower use the sun to transpire
You like October set the summer on fire

Set the summer on fire
Set the summer, set the summer
Set the summer on fire
