Jewel Of The Summertime (Album Version)

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 Something blinded me, uh huh That reminded me, uh huh Of a better space and time, miles away [Chorus] The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime [Verse 2] When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight All that I met were dark silhouettes Stumbling in the night Then we collided, uh huh And I finally, uh huh Got a light on me, uh huh Now I'm bathing in the bright of divided rays [Chorus] The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime [Bridge] I left that behind me, uh, huh But something blinded me, uh, huh You reminded me, uh, huh Of a better space and time, miles away [Chorus] The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime [Chorus] The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime, the jewel of the summertime The jewel of the summertime
