lyrics

I remember the days when the sun touched the ground
I remember the nights we spent on warm soft ground
how I couldn't help but stare
reach over and tussle your hair
I remember the days the sun wouldn't go down.

I can see it now, children running in the streets
I can hear their laughs their cries their songs of joy
I can almost feel your skin

oh can you hear, the noisy voices calling?
can you hear our songs?

oh Summer Solstice, it's been far far to long
oh Summer Solstice, won't you please come back home?
oh winter is here, and fall and spring and summer
oh Summer Solstice, won't you please come back home?

and I'm so tired of all these things I can explain
and I want more than involuntary love
and maybe all I need is some rhyme and reason
but I remember the days when the sun touched the ground

oh can you hear, the noisy voices calling?
can you hear our songs?

oh Summer Solstice, it's been far far to long
oh Summer Solstice, won't you please come back home?
oh winter is here, and fall and spring and summer
oh Summer Solstice, won't you please come back home?

won't you please come back home?
(won't you plase come back? won't you please come back?)
won't you please come back home?
(won't you plase come back? won't you please come back?)
