lyrics

Under skies of swirling grey
Nights that lock the stars away
It’s gonna be a long cold summer

She’s a sparrow driven from the nest
Never found a place to rest
It’s gonna be a long cold year

Yeah, it’s gonna be a long cold summer
A long cold year

Get in the car just to get somewhere
My face is numb in the downtown air
It’s gonna be a long cold summer

Shopping basket, broken wheels
No one wonders how it feels
It’s gonna be a long cold year

Yeah, it’s gonna be a long cold summer
It’s gonna be a long cold year

Once we had a place to stay
In the city by the bay
Someone else is living there
In the home we used to share
Yeah, it’s gonna be a long cold summer
A long cold year

The cold calls the ghosts to play
I think about you more each day
Warm gold pouring through the blinds
How could I have missed the signs?
It’s always winter when you barricade
I’m coming at you with a fool’s serenade
Can we move on from this long cold summer?

Yeah, it’s gonna be a long cold summer
It’s gonna be a long cold year

Every pair of eyes are frozen
Staring in the Pacific Ocean
How big can this world be?
How will anyone ever find me?
Once we had a place to stay
In the city by the bay…
