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
somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
that reminded me, uh-huh
of a better space and time, miles away
the jewel of the summertime
jewel of the summertime
jewel of the summer-time
a jewel of the summertime
a jewel of the summertime
jewel of the summer-time
when i turned 21 i saw the sun pulling out of sight
all that i met were dark silhouette's stumbling in the night
but we collided, uh-huh
in a ?, uh-huh
got alot on me, uh-huh
now i'm bathing in the bright of divided rays
jewel of the summertime
jewel of the summertime
jewel of the summer-time
a jewel of the summertime
jewel of the summertime
jewel of the summer-time
time, time
i left that behind me, uh-huh
but somethin' blinded me, uh-huh
you reminded me, uh-huh
of a better space and time, miles away
jewel of the summertime
jewel of the summertime
a jewel of the summer-time
a jewel of the summertime
a jewel of the summertime
a jewel of the summer-time
a jewel of the summertime
jewel of the summertime
a jewel of the summer-time
jewel of the summertime
jewel of the summertime
jewel of the summer-time
