Summer here is over in a million different ways

You look like a dream sometimes, but i don't dream these days

Yesterday the snow fell, by four o'clock it thawed

And last night making love to you, well honey, it was such a fraud



'cos you can find yourself a lover

You can find yourself a home

You can want no other ever

But it's never too late to be alone



So everything is settled or so we do pretend

From a beautiful beginning babe to a muted kind of end

And our separate possessions are shuffled up on shelves

Like our fingers lock together when we talk about ourselves



You can find yourself one day staring into space

With a suitcase waiting by the door

You can think you've got it made 'til it hits you in the face

That these are not the people you want to be before



Summer here is over, you can feel it in the air

From the down-town shells to the upland hills

The chill is everywhere
