Summer Of

from Perseids by David Burchfield

/

lyrics

O, but what am I a speck of dust
Breathing clay, warm weather comes
And reminds me of the summer of
The lake and falling deep in love

Woven deep in - to this sinner’s blood
A memo - ry I cannot over - come
A beach campfire burning bright
Some - times I feel just like a child

[O that light shine over me
Illuminate and guide me
Where I’ve gone wro - ng show mer - cy
Bind my heart tight to thee]

I wanna look in - to the skies a - gain
And feel my heart with - in me soften - ing
A clear heart and head like I had the - en
Safely held with - in the myste - ry

I don’t know why I e’r be - came un - sure
There was nothing in you falter - ing
But I’ll need some help to love again
It’s been a long time now, I’ve been toughe - ning

[O that light shine over me
Illuminate and guide me
Where I’ve gone wro - ng show mer - cy
Bind my heart tight to thee]

I never under - stood the fear in love
Until I’d lived enough to do some wrong
But the weakness of the broken heart
The fertile ground to sow upon

[O that light shine over me
Illuminate and guide me
Where I’ve gone wro - ng show mer - cy
Bind my heart tight to thee]
