Cheryl Wheeler - Summer Fly

In another, younger day I could dream the time away
In the universe inside my room
And the world was really mine from June to September
And if it wasn't really so I was lucky not to know
And I was lucky not to wonder why
'Cause a starry sky is all that I remember
A summer fly was buzzin' every night when I was young
In the gentle world my child-like senses knew
And the world was just my cousin and the wind was just the tongue
In the voice my lonely moments listened to
And I look at me today, all the dreams have gone away
And I'm where I never thought I'd be
Seeing things I never thought I'd see happening to me
And I lay awake at night till the darkness goes to light
Hearing voices calling out my name
Droning over and again the same message through me
Cryin' who's your partner, who's your darlin' who's your baby now?
Who wakes up at night to pull you in?
It don't matter, you just make her lonely anyhow
Don't know why you even try to win
Oh this'll never fly, get out while you can
Look into the mirror say it's not the same again
Every single time, things just fall apart
Slamming door, slipping pride, sad and angry heart
