09 - Jewel Of The Summertime

When I was eighteen
I didn't know pain when the sun was high
Burnt faced, shadows erased
And I knew I'd be alright

Left that behind me (Uh-huh)
Something blinded me (Uh-huh)
That reminded me (Uh-huh)
Of a better space and time
Miles away

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime

When I turned twenty-one
I saw the sun pulling out of sight
All that I met were dark silhouettes
Stumbling in the night

But we collided (Uh-huh)
And I finally (Uh-huh)
Got a light on me (Uh-huh)
Now I'm bathing in the bright
Ultra-violet rays

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Time, time, time

I left that behind me (Uh-huh)
And something blinded me (Uh-huh)
Yeah reminded me (Uh-huh)
Of a better space and time
Miles away

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer- time
