Lyrics for A Summer Wasting

Summer in winter Winter in springtime You heard the birds sing Everything will be fine I spent the summer wasting The time was passed so easily But if the summer's wasted How come that I could feel so free? I spent the summer wasting The sky was blue beyond compare A photograph of myself Is all I have to show for- Seven weeks of river walkways Seven weeks of staying up all night I spent the summer wasting The time was passed so pleasantly Say cheerio to books now The only things I'll read are faces I spent the summer wasting Under a canopy of- Seven weeks of river walkings Seven weeks of reading papers Seven weeks of feeling guilty Seven weeks of staying up all night Summer in winter Winter is springtime You heard the birds sing Everything will be fine
