Do you believe that summer is a mystery? It's a time outside of time, a secret bird so swiftly by And would you agree that we are also a mystery? Just as fleeting and divine, like sparks that left the fire for the sky I filled my heart with the best things of summer With sunshine and with wild flowers, but I could not keep them close to me Oh Summer, oh Summer! How I clung to your sweetness! You were a thousand golden roses! I couldn't bear to watch you fade With the sunset behind me, heartache chased me across the mountains pushed me deep into the wilderness, to be empty and alone for a time Oh I raised my fists and I cursed the sunshine I didn't care to live or die. I think I almost lost my mind My tired feet led me to the heart of the summer To look August in the eye and ask her why she had forsaken me And August stood waiting with her crown wove of hazel She called me gently by my name but I could not raise my face to her And she said: Hold me but not too fast Because the sunshine, the breeze, this grass And you and I We too shall pass She said: Hold me but not too fast Because the sunshine, the breeze, this grass And you and I We too shall pass She said: Hold me but not too fast Because the sunshine, the breeze, this grass And you and I We too shall pass She said: Hold me but not too fast Because the sunshine, the breeze, this grass And you and I We too shall pass She said: Hold me but not too fast Because the sunshine, the breeze, this grass And you and I We too shall pass She said: Hold me but not too fast Because the sunshine, the breeze, this grass And you and I We too shall pass She said: Hold me but not too fast Because the sunshine, the breeze, this grass And you and I We too shall pass Though I have touched the heart of of the mystery I couldn't hold it in my hand. I could not carry it away But for now I am fine and at peace with the sunshine I wish that summer would just stay a while Not forever, but just a little while
