Summer is lost now
The frost is closing in
To the cold gospel goller
The poor man walks in sin
I can't get no entrance, the doors all in rows
I pray into the distance, let me out of these heavy clothes
I beg, Indian summer, I need some return
So hard to get warm out
when it's so easy to get a burn
Down in the pavement, the laws are learn
It's so hard to get warm where, it's so easy to get a burn
When a sister called up, said how long you broken down?
I said there is too much Ice around here, to find no solid ground
While I just squeeze a season, from this paper bag
I pray to the burning tires, *and wrap my feet in* rags
Oh, Indian summer, I need some return
So hard to get warm out
when it's so easy to get a burn
Down in the pavement, the laws are learn
Its so hard to get warm where, it's so easy to get a burn
Now the skies are empty
The street is sweating tears
Communing at the station
For a million grinding years
While I'm riding out this century
With the harvest engine sing
From the church in mercenaries
To a naked virgin spring
I'm singing,
Indian summer, I need some return
So hard to get warm out
when it's so easy to get a burn
Down in the pavement, the laws are learn
It's so hard to get warm where, it's so easy to get a burn
