The Summertime's Leading me on (LiLR) Me On
thetworegs
Another song created from watching too much TV….
Live in the living room or should i say Cellar…..
The Summertime’s Leading me on (LiLR)
as i watch another winter fade and die
i know i’m never gonna get that time again
i know down deep
it’s all a lie
i know i can’t feel that way again
i know you don’t believe a single word that i’ve said
cause i’ve hurt you too much
for you to believe
tomorrow the sun is going to find me
and i got to leave
dreams are made to be broken
love is mean’t to heal
people got to live and that lifes got to be real
all my wishes
turned into commands
now i have nothing to tell me what i am
i don’t know what to say
i don’t know how to ask
myself the truth
but i know this summertime is leading me on and i got to leave
i watch the swallows fly
up high above
i watch the clouds react to my dreams
i know i can’t lie no more
i gotta keep moving on
i got to leave you tonight yeah
i know i can’t carry on lying to myself
not a day more
i know the summertime is leading me on i got to leave
solo
everybody knows my name
around these parts
and i know it’s gonna turn to mud
i can’t face looking people in the eye no more
i know i’ve got to move on
i feel i’ve done enough time
now i got to get out
i’ve got to breakaway from what i feel is wrong
the summertime is leading me on i got to move on
solo
oh the summertime is leading me on and i got to leave
i watch the swallows fly up above
i watch the clouds react to my dreams
i know we won’t feel, this love again
and i know you don’t believe a single word i say
i know i can’t carry on lying to myself not a day, not a day more
i know i’m gonna break a dream and break your heart too
but the summertime, is leading me on, and i gotta move on
Sometimes the simplest of mix downs -- a man and his acoustic guitar -- are the most effective, especially when dealing with such gripping lyrics as these. Rock on!
I love your vocal in this kind of setting - great performance, heartstrings songwriting.
this is really singer-songwriting thing! love how you deliver the story through music. i love UK!
