It smelled like junipers

the day that you left

some kind of fairy tale

i didn't invent


oh, these days

the best that i had

you were summertime

summertime, summertime


the warmth of those lovely days

is still on my skin

oh how those golden rays

it swallowed me in


oh, these days

the best that i had

you are summertime

summertime, summertime


it all fades away

it all fades away


laying in blades of grass

the earth through my feet

bare neck and shoulders

that tasted so sweet


oh, these days

the best that i had

you were summertime

summertime, summertime


and it all fades away

and it all fades away


cold winds and rainy days

have torn us apart

at least that is what we say

the truth would just hurt


oh, these days

the best that i had

you were summertime

summertime, summertime


oh, these days

the best that i had

you were summertime

summertime, summertime

summertime, summertime, summertime
