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
