Summer Song

Born to the earth
Walking the way of a father
He knew lakes and storms
He knew all the heartaches they brought him
He had a pain in his head from a fixated light
There’s a child in his arms with pretty green eyes
She slept in a bed made in a different room
She dreamt of aerospace planes
And fell in spells of neon futures
She had a pain in her head from a fixated light
Waves of distance cut deep like a lonely night

Because he lives in a different time
And she’s lost in a different life
He was born in a different body
And he’ll never find her
He lives in a different time
And she’s lost in a different life
He was born in a different body
And he’ll never find her

He had this dream
He was in love with a face that he didn’t know
And she had this dream
She was back in the halls of the church
Where there were hundreds of us
We were bowing in awe
Then the earth opened wide and swallowed them both
Then they woke

And now he lives in a different time
And she’s lost in a different life
He was born in a different body
And he’ll never find her
He lives in a different time
And she’s lost in a different life
He was born in a different body
And he’ll never find her

And he'll never find her
And now he lives in a different time
And she’s lost in a different life
He was born in a different body
And he’ll never find her
He lives in a different time
And she’s lost in a different life
He was born in a different body
And he’ll never find her
