So it means this
summer's gone
I've seen how
the autumn season
raises the flag

you bought a
ticket to love
I've seen how
you fell asleep
down by the lake

you put a new
picture on a wall
in your new house
you chose a nice spot
down the hall

the wind is howling
leaves are falling
shadows paint the sky
the moon is drawing
figures in the clouds
a scary thought
it didn't last

you bought a 
ticket to love
man, how are you
& how is she?
I didn't mean
to raise the dead

so it means this
summer's gone
the picture is still
hanging on the wall
now the frame is
broken

the wind is howling
leaves are falling
shadows paint the sky
the moon was drawing
figures in the clouds
a scary thought
it didn't last
