[00:00.300]
[00:20.500]Midnight coming back around, the summer heat that wears me out
[00:26.500]Is drifting through a firmament of cranes
[00:33.080]And the friends I've left behind are speechless in my sunlit mind
[00:39.280]As through the door to summer, through the door to summer, they pass away
[00:54.440]If there's a stillness in your eyes
[00:58.120]The unreal city's closing all its summer doors on you tonight
[01:07.369]Won't you step into the light?
[01:11.149]The arcades that have blossomed just to fade into the shadows of the night
[01:20.509]Through all the trains still moving in my mind
[01:26.810]The gas fire flares into the light
[01:30.137]And I am in this house on fire
[01:33.158]But I was only watching clouds go by
[01:43.560]
[01:59.090]Through the doors of summer
[02:05.167]Through the doors of summer
[02:10.258]We pass away
[02:13.638]And we were old before our time
[02:17.427]And we knew as we heard the fields just singing in the quiet
[02:26.328]That one day the band would strike a tune that carried us along
[02:33.968]Through city gardens, leaving in the heat
[02:39.818]And all the deals and trials on Ganton Street
[02:45.878]The gas fire flares into the light
[02:49.028]And I am in this house on fire
[02:52.117]But I was only watching clouds go by
[02:59.768]I picked her up at half past four, the church hall in a haze
[03:04.318]Unreal as I could ever really be
[03:10.669]And everyone was leaving and the moment passed away
[03:16.938]And ended up inside my heart, a dream
[03:20.677]
[03:46.979]Midnight coming back around, the summer heat that wears me out
[03:52.818]Is rising to my eyes behind the flames
[03:59.378]I have come to disbelieve exactly what I hear and see
[04:05.268]As through the door to summer, through the door to summer, we pass away
