Summer's Over

Jonathan Coulton


Summer's over
You're going back to school
I'm staying here
Where else would I go?

Watch the leaves turn
Close out the swimming pool
Winter comes in
Sooner than you know

Nights get cold
And the flowers let go
Bide their time under the snow
As they go down, they say goodbye
Goodbye

Summer's over
Because it has to be
Just like before
Round and around

It's a circle
Bringing you back to me
Stay where I am
I'm lost and found

When you go
You'll come back again
Close the door
The cold's getting in

As I go down, I say goodbye
Goodbye
