Jewel of the summertime

When I was 18 I didn´t know pain when the sun was high
Burnt face, shadow´s erased and I knew I´d be alright
They tried to hurt me, uh-huh
Somethin´ blinded me, uh-huh
That reminded me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away

The jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time

When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight
All that I met were dark silhouette´s stumbling in the night
But we collided, uh-huh
In a ?, uh-huh
Got alot on me, uh-huh
Now I´m bathing in the bright of divided rays

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
Time, time

I left that behind me, uh-huh
But somethin´ blinded me, uh-huh
You reminded me, uh-huh
Of a better space and time, miles away

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
