AND YOU WILL KNOW US BY THE TRAIL OF DEAD - SUMMER OF '91 lyrics

rate me

Lying on the shady grass

Afternoon, there's always something happening

Friends go floating gently by

I'm listening to a song inside my head

Although the summer's past

Those mythic dreams would never last

Do I care anymore

And if it makes you sad

Remember all the things you have

That can't be bought

Recollection brings me back

Sad to think that it was just a fantasy

We'd already accepted that

Which many others struggled to believe

And though it makes no sense

I know there are no accidents

I've no fear anymore

And if it makes you sad

To give up dreams you've always had

That can't be bought

It just can't be fought

Looking back at '91

Reflecting on those things we could have

Said and done

The dancing lights across a crowd

Remind us of another town

That's dead and gone

It's just dead and gone

Take me to that summer past

And tell me is it really worth remembering?

I realize that music then

Was really just a song inside my head

And though the fun has past

Those mythic dreams are meant to last

Have no fear anymore

And if it makes you cry

To look ahead, well dry your eyes

It can be done

Yes it can be done
