Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera - Long Nights of Summer lyrics

Listen to the moon Singing its sad song of broken dreams (Lay) beneath the sun And days of fun long ago Now I think of those Long nights of summer Long nights of summer That's how it used to be It all comes back to me Everything is gone Every hope, every dream How we used to build castles in the air What would the future bring How we wished on those Long nights of summer Long nights of summer Thoughts that were once so clear Gone now that winter's here And now the love of spring we felt would live an age lies like the dying flowers now that the season's changed Nothing left of love Only sad memories still remain But hope still lingers on after the winter is gone comes spring again Long nights of summer Long nights of summer Forgetting the hurt before learning to love once more That's how it used to be It all comes back to me
