Summer Stars

Summer stars from the roof of a car
Never looked so bright as they look to me now
Desert air after rain in the night
There are things you remember the rest of your life

There's no need to fall asleep
The dreams you can remember are the ones you can't keep
Better you should lay awake
Under the summer stars

Where were you in 1992?
You were trying to learn what the rest of us knew
Never said what they wanted to hear
Mumbled the words but the message was clear

Some would say that there must be a way out of this
When you still have something to say
And they break you down
