The chimes were heard
From a paint pealed front porch
And it rang a chord in the cold wind

And those girls next door
Might have heard it before
If they did then it never was mentioned


Janie I'm sorry
But summer is over and done

And I'm trying to get back before its too long
My eyes are opened up
So Janie I'm sorry

But summer is over and done

Dry leaves burned

The color had turned
The smoke from it churned as it floated
Over roofs like string cut balloons

Adrift in an autumn parade

I've been too low to tell you

That I've gone too long with you
But summers over and done
