|
By the mansion on the hillside |
|
Red sports car comes driving down the road |
|
And pulls up into the driveway |
|
And a story does unfold |
|
She's standing by the rhododendrons |
|
Where the roses are in bloom |
|
Looking out at the |
|
Atlantic ocean |
|
And in her head, she hums this tune |
|
Thank God, the dark nights are drawing in again' |
|
Cos high summer has got me down |
|
Can we wait till the end of |
|
AugustAnd get off this merry-go-round |
|
And they shut him out of paradise |
|
Called him |
|
Lucifer and frowned |
|
She took pride in what |
|
God made him |
|
Even before the angels shot him down to the ground |
|
He's a light out of the darkness |
|
And he wears a starry crown |
|
If you see him, nothing will shake him' |
|
Cos high summer's got him low down |
|
High summer's got him lonesome |
|
Even when he makes the rounds, makes the rounds |
|
There's been no two ways about it |
|
High summer's got him low down |
|
Checked in to the tiny village by the lakeside |
|
Settled down to start anew |
|
Far away from the politicians |
|
And the many chosen few |
|
Far away from the jealousy factor |
|
And everything that was tearing him apart |
|
Far away from the organ grinder |
|
And everyone that played their part |
|
And they shut him out of paradise |
|
Called him |
|
Lucifer and frowned' |
|
Cos he took pride in what |
|
God made him |
|
Even before the angels shot him to the ground |
|
He's a light out of the darkness |
|
And he wears a starry crown |
|
If you see him, nothing is shaken' |
|
Cos high summer's got him low down |
|
High summer on the rebound |
|
High summer got him low down |
|
High summer on the rebound |
|
High summer's got him low down |
|
High summer on the rebound |
|
High summer's got him low down |
