Summer Is Over Again

from Quit the Neighbourhood! by kappa

lyrics

The summer is over now
The star has hidden, the world has turned away
Equinox put one foot in the grave

My friends are good and kind,
But their shelter’s no respite from the storm
The world is cold and only he was warm

Harvest moon, linger
There’s a rise and fall looping, forever on repeat
The sun tries to rise
And it tries to fall, looping continuously

Once everything was mine, a king was never cold
All the rain glowed, and every stranger looked like a friend
And everything is fine in heaven, I am told
But in the world of men nothing will be the same again

Autumn is here again
Migrating bird calls echo around the plate
They disperse into the air but they remain

The sounds bounce up and down
The consonants stretch into hisses and vowels
Then absorb into the walls and in the ground

The tabs are all broken
Now nothing left that can ever be rewound
No-one will circulate the tapes
Nothing can be ever erased again

Once everything was mine, but down here I am cold
Like a cat in hell, a snowball melting with no end
And everything is fine in heaven, I am told
But in the world of men nothing will be the same again

And I might forget the clothes that I wore
But I can't forget all the things we saw
And I might forget the way my stomach felt
But I can't forget the way his perfume smelt
And I might forget the sound of his voice
But I can't forget that he was my boy
And I might choose to forget his name
But I can never forget
We were one and the same

One day the sun will shine, and night will turn to gold
Happy couple in a spaceless where and timeless when
And everything is fine in heaven, I am told
But in the world of men nothing can be the same again
