That Summer

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] The ceiling fan turns slow in the blazing noon Cicadas buzz loud through the trees [Verse 1] I ran barefoot along the rice-field edge Wind and sun glinting on my thin shoulder The clear stream mirrored the whole sky We jumped in like there was no tomorrow [Pre-Chorus] Each night we sat counting stars on the step Telling each other our far-off dreams [Chorus] That summer still hums In my heart each time the sun sets That summer still hums Though the streets are concrete now [Verse 2] Now asphalt's smooth where dust once lay The stream shrank and cicadas whisper I stand where I once was, searching for that heat Of a time drunk on the very sun [Chorus] That summer still hums In my heart each time the sun sets That summer still hums Though the streets are concrete now [Bridge] Every summer comes and then must go Like our childhood we could never keep But the echo of those radiant days [Chorus] That summer still hums In my heart each time the sun sets That summer still hums Though the streets are concrete now [Outro] That summer now lives only in the music I hum it soft within my chest [Fade Out] [End]
