When the springtime
drank the winter snow

And brought back
the petals and the leaves

The fields were calling
for those waking

Or those chasing
what had disappeared


But when the blossoms fell
and the wells ran dry

And the sun’s roar
chased away the night

We left behind
when we were young

The schoolyards
and the bells


We were loose
upon the lakes

And fields we
made our own

It was our time
That was our time


Those summer days


And now the winter
is taking everything

That survived the fall
I feel it taking me away

But I hold on to summer days

That was our time
it was our time

I’ll be there once again

It was our time
that was our time

Running loose
upon the fields

Of summer days
