tom mcrae – summer of john wayne lyrics
a summer of john wayne
getting older
reel after reel
and playing old soldiers
with old wounds
you know how that feels
and a summer of searching
the underworld
an arrow in my heel
and the winding down of days
and the speeding of time won’t change
but i know you say nothing good lasts forever
some things burn bright
but burn themselves out to embers
and these weather conversations
and small talk
steal my hours away
and i gave away my best to strangers
day after day
and the winding down of days
and the speeding of time won’t change
but i know you say
nothing good lasts forever
some things burn bright
but burn themselves out to embers
your love is a cold, cold place my dear
the seasons change those ghosts appear
and every sound is an echo of yesterday.
and suddenly i fall through the cracks in time
and i’m standing here with your hand in mine
and i turn around to see you there’s no one there
but i know you say
nothing good lasts forever
you will forget
but i will always remember, the time
