You raised me with clouded eyes
But now they're wide
Did you start to say
The game is never hard to play
But winning is the trick
Enemies are hard to beat
There are several delays
And men that try to change your ways
The summer here is hard
But i'll never leave it
When you were king of bees
And time with you meant everything
When nothing could go wrong
Is what we all believed
But i remember when
The sun would rise and fall for him
And everything we know
Was not important
But if we leave
The summer we can't bring
And i won't have the room to hold you close to me again
Because my beliefs
Were never quite like yours
It's on this day i feel might never
Be coming to an end
You said i wish i were dead
But i wish you were more alive
There's something you should know
I'm giving up on love
It's for the innocent
And i am anything but that
My younger son, when you were born
You were afraid of everybody
But if we leave
The summer we can't bring
And i won't have the room to hold you close to me again
I sure don't need
To follow to believe
It's on this day i feel i might never
Be seeing you again
Oh man, i'm gone
You raised me with clouded eyes
But now they're wide
