Lyrics
What's the use in trying, when you don't believe in it
And you're bent on finding something new?
The further I've come, I've really found out what I wanted.
Maybe I should try something new.
In a fallen moment
You'll learn to count the days here
In the summertime.
What's the use in fighting, when you start to come around
as the light so lovely fades into view?
Get your feet back on the ground and make peace with something!
Maybe I should try something new...
In a fallen moment
You'll learn to count the days here
In the summertime.
You go yours and I'll go my way,
Ooooo, as the days get long here
In the summertime....
'Cause in a fallen moment
You'll learn to count the days here
In the summertime.
