When I was 18 I didn't know pain
When the sun was high
Mud faced, shadow's erased and I knew

I'd be alright
They tried to hide me
Something blinded me

That reminded me
Of a better space and time, miles away


Jewel of the summertime

When I turned 21

I saw the sun pulling out of sight
I met a man with dark silhouette's
Stumbling in the night

But we collided and I finally
Got a lot on me
Now I'm bathing in the bright of divided rays


Jewel of the summertime


I left that behind me,
But something blinded me
You reminded me

Of a better space and time, miles away

Jewel of the summertime
