Summer Child - Summer Child lyrics

She was never a summer child No, never at all She liked the cool of the spring And the damp of the fall For the heat of the summer Made her b**hy and mean As she watched for the hired man Quiet and lean She was never a summer child No, never at all It was the time of the creatures That slithered and crawled She'd stand in her window With her back to the light She knew I was watching Like a moth in the night Go down easy, go down slow Go down easy child There's a lot of summer left to go There's a lot of summer left to go She was never a summer child At least that's what she said She said the voices were crazy That talked in her head She'd tap on my door And ask to come in She'd move through the gra** Like a witch in the wind Yea, that summer in Macon The year of '45 Is burned in my brain Till the day that I die Go down easy, go down slow Go down easy, go down slow Go down easy, go down slow Go down easy, go down slow Go down easy, go down slow Go down easy child There's a lot of summer left to go There's a lot of summer left to go She was never a summer child No, never at all Go down easy, go down slow Go down easy, go down slow Go down easy, go down slow Go down easy, go down slow
