Summer’s Door

Warm the sun shines down
Enough to go around
We’ve passed through summer’s door

Winter’s in its grave
The child inside us plays
Unaware of pain and war

Let summer’s warmth dry those frozen tears
We’re finally free, there’s no need for fear
There may be pain but it will pass
And you will be a woman at long last

Soft the summer sings
So throw off childhood things
As I lay down with you

For you know the summer’s wise
And it says give up your prize
You may enjoy it too

They said it was wrong to feel this way
But they’ve forgotten all their summer days
A flower’s petals, they close all too fast
So I’ll make you a woman at long last

Your love, I want to win it
It only hurts for a minute
come on baby, don’t say never

there’s no need to prolong
no law says that it’s wrong
or if there is, well, then whatever

I’ll show you a world where pleasure reigns
Winter’s gone there’s no need to refrain
season’s change, summer’s fading fast
so let me make you a woman at last

come September it’s back to high school
well not for me, but surely for you
forget tomorrow and think of today
time is short, so let’s do this, okay?

although you’re just a teen
you’re every grown man’s dream
so let’s get something brewing

Put away your fears
I’ve been doing this for years
I know just what I’m doing

in this summer heat, your resistance will wane
c’mon, break free of those restrictive chains
the signals you’re sending seem to be murky
and your resistance is starting to irk me

forget your folks and their disapprovin’
time’s a-wasting, so let’s get a-movin’
before we bid the summer adieu, I’ll make you a
woman if it’s the last thing that I do

Now that woman, she has grown
You have children of your very own
I moved on long, long ago
No offense, it’s just…you got too old
