Summer spell

Through the ice and swell
casting spells over a telephone line
in my ear
telling secrets that i'll take to my grave

falling one by one
til the sun came up to save us from ourselves
for the day
then the light would leave
and night would fall again

all these words between us now
only words between us now
all these words between us now
only words forever now

we will meet on a sunlit street
the skies will tell us everything
oh the things we'll know when the cold winds go
and summer comes again

damn the river tom
for the hours we wasted dreaming of the things
we'd never be and never see
but always hope for in ourselves
every doubt every promise we would never carry out
all these words between us now
only words between us now
all these words between us now
only words forever now

we will meet on a sunlit street
the skies will tell us everything
oh the things we'll know when the cold winds go
and summer comes again
when summer comes again

we fought to be the last ones to fall asleep
and i've been awake all of this time
don't you remember how we swore
we'd never let this town take us alive?

all these words between us now
only words between us now
all these words between us now
only words forever now

we will meet on a sunlit street
the skies will tell us everything
oh the things we'll know when the cold winds go
and summer comes again
when summer comes again
when summer comes again
