When the Summer's Gone

This is the song that was on "loop" in my office yesterday. It's from Derek Webb & Sandra McCracken's album "Ampersand." You can hear it for yourself at the website, www.ampersandep.com (it's the second song on the player at the home page), or at Sandra's MySpace.

"When the Summer's Gone"

when the summer's gone
when the harvest comes and the leaves are red
we'll remember then
making love in the sun and the sand
you are the one to whom my heart belongs
will our love be strong when the summer's gone?

when the summer's gone
as we fight our way through the winter snow
and we will mark the days
till our july friend returns again, where have you been?
you are the one to whom my heart belongs
will our love be strong when the summer's gone

(chorus)
we could drive down to the water
if we ever lose our way
summer sky, goes on forever
will our love be strong..
when the summer's gone...


when the summer's gone
and the poetry has all been read
will our midnight sun
burn though the year till the august fears have disappeared
you are the one to whom my heart belongs
will our love be strong when the summer's gone

(chorus)

you are the one, to whom my heart belongs
will our love be strong (when the summer's gone?)
will our love be strong (when the summer's gone?)
will our love be strong when the summer's gone?
