Summer of John Wayne Lyrics & Tabs by Tom McRae
Summer of John Wayne
guitar chords lyrics
A summer of John Wayne
Getting older
Reel after reel
And playing old soldiers
With old wounds
You know how that feels
And a summer of searching
The underworld
An arrow in my heel
And the winding down of days
And the speeding of time won’t change
But I know you say nothing good lasts forever
Some things burn bright
But burn themselves out to embers
And these weather conversations
Some things burn bright
But burn themselves out to embers
And these weather conversations
And small talk
Steal my hours away
And I gave away my best to strangers
Day after day
And the winding down of days
And the speeding of time won’t change
But I know you say
Nothing good lasts forever
Some things burn bright
But burn themselves out to embers
Your love is a cold, cold place my dear
The seasons change those ghosts appear
And every sound is an echo of yesterday.
And suddenly I fall through the cracks in time
And I’m standing here with your hand in mine
And I turn around to see you there’s no one there
But I know you say
Nothing good lasts forever
You will forget
But I will always remember, the time
