(Billy Mernit)
It makes me smile
To think of what we dreamed of
Where are those sons of summer now
With their wild-haired women in their
patchwork gowns
Who could laugh the lights away
Nights on the beach and bay
The course on farms
And the course in the bar
Sweet smokin' in the back of the car
Always the first time shines to last like a morning star
Like a morning star
It's been a while since the last time we were dancing
Where are those sons of summer now
With their long-limber ladies who all knew how
To chase the blues away
I've got the blues today
Your ivy days and your clubhouse ways
Wine mug nights when the music played
Love that is real will not fade away like a morning star
Where are those sons of summer now
The winter has come
And you don't know how to turn your
Dreams into coal
Your books won't hold you
The woods get cold
And I feel too old
I begin to question your schoolboy soul
Clever remarks that once won my heart
When the fire won't light they lose their spark
And I can't help but get a little bit blue
thinking about the precious nothing we
Once knewverse 1:
so you´re looking for answers,
and they´re selling your choices
in the confort of your own tv
and the magazine covers,
they made you discover
beauty is all that you need
pre-chorus:
it´s just a mean game
nothing but a mean game
nothing but lies
try to make you be things
tell you how to see things
why do you try
chorus:
if you´re down on your money
down on your luck
if you get pushed over you can get
yourself back up
i said
down on respect
and down on belief
if you´re sick of what they say
then come and follow me
ooh ooh, follow me
ooh, ooh, follow me
verse 2:
so you´re man on a mission
who makes the decisions
to follow someone else´s advice
cause deep down inside
you don´t know what´s
wrong from right
there´s only so much
money can buy
repeat pre-chorus
repeat chorus
ooh ooh, follow me
ooh ooh, follow me
why don´t you follow me down
repeat pre-chorus
repeat chorus (x2)
ooh ooh, follow me
ooh ooh, follow me
