Looking in a window on a rainy day   Thinking about good things that I just threw away   Looking at the gutter, watching the trash go flowing by   Thinking it's summer, but there are only clouds in the sky      When I think of what we wasted, makes me sad   We never appreciated what we had   Now I'm standing in a doorway with my overcoat on   It really feels like summer's gone   So alone summer's gone      It should have been a laugh, it should have been fun   When I think of all the things that we did last summer   Now I look back, it seems such a crime   We couldn't appreciate it at the time      Now I'm standing in a doorway   Thinking of summers gone by   It ought to make me happy   But it just makes me want to cry      I was riding in the car with my mum and dad   He was drivin' the car, the kids were drivin' him mad   Dad looked at us, then he looked at his wife   He must have wondered where we all came from      And then mum said, "Dad, you know it won't last for long   Before you know it, summer's gone"   So alone summer's gone      I really blew it all, when I think it through   I really lost it all when I lost you   Now I'm standing in a doorway with water in my shoes   It really feels like, feels like summers gone   So alone summer's gone      Summer's gone   So alone   Summer's gone
