Jimmy went off chasing stars

His hands in the sky

Jody found love in a town where the rivers run dry

Mary wrote poems

But her words turned to dust

Tommy’s still playing

But it’s only for rust

We had the fire

We had the sound

But time’s a thief

It breaks you down

The summer of now

It’s a different kind of glow

We lost the band

But the memories grow

Oh

The summer of now

It’s a softer kind of light

But the echoes of then

They still feel right

Jimmy’s a pilot

He flies over the seas

Jody’s got kids

She’s got mouths to feed

Mary’s in Paris

Painting her skies

Tommy just laughs

Says the music never dies

We had the fire

We had the stage

But the years roll on

They turn the page

The summer of now

It’s a different kind of glow

We lost the band

But the memories grow

Oh

The summer of now

It’s a softer kind of light

But the echoes of then

They still feel right
