He came down throught fields of green On the summer side of life His love was ripe There were no illusions On the summer side of life Only tenderness And if you saw him now You'd wonder why he would cry The whole day long
There were young girls everywhere On the summer side of life The talked all night To the young men that they knew On the summer side of life Goin' off to fight
And if you saw them now You'd wonder why they would cry The whole day long
He came down through field of green On the summer side of life He prayed all night Then he walked into a house Where love had been misplaced His chance to waste
And if you saw him now You'd wonder why he would cry The whole day long
