Jewel Of The Summertime

When I was eighteen

I didn't know pain when the sun was high

Burnt faced, shadows erased

And I knew I'd be alright

Left that behind me (Uh-huh)

Something blinded me (Uh-huh)

That reminded me (Uh-huh)

Of a better space and time

Miles away

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

When I turned twenty-one

I saw the sun pulling out of sight

All that I met were dark silhouettes

Stumbling in the night

But we collided (Uh-huh)

And I finally (Uh-huh)

Got a light on me (Uh-huh)

Now I'm bathing in the bright

Ultra-violet rays

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Time, time, time

I left that behind me (Uh-huh)

And something blinded me (Uh-huh)

Yeah reminded me (Uh-huh)

Of a better space and time

Miles away

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summertime

Jewel of the summer- time
