Lyrics:

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 *I finally*, 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
