"Summer Sun" lyrics

"Summer Sun"

When the summer sun melts candles
I dig out the wick
Honey we're up against something
Our love alone can't fix

So I won't see the garden
Or the figs when they are ripe
It hurts to be leaving
But I know that staying ain't right

It was always fun getting a little drunk
On your back deck in the rain
And I'd cook for you like a good woman do
You had no reason to be afraid

That my heart was hidden behind a wall
That came before you
It's really no one's fault
But I tried to warn you

You wanted understanding
Your intentions they were pure
Well that wasn't the problem
I always knew that they were

When the summer sun melts candles
I dig out the wick
In another life it's simple
But I know someone is gonna get

All the love you have to give
You need a heart that's ready for ya
It's really no one's fault
But I tried to warn you
