[Verse 1]
Oh my, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
Through my mind, my troubled mind
Oh, why in the world did you decide to leave me?
High and dry, oh, so very dry

[Chorus]
You left me like summer
I was up and now I'm down
And I loved you like summer
Now I do the winter rounds
Aye, aye, eh (Aye, aye, eh)
Aye, aye, eh (Aye, aye, eh)
Aye, eh

[Post-Chorus]
Does your skin still bear at the salt from the summertime?
Your heart still hurt to know all your past crimes
You left me in the dark, you helped me lose my mind
I followed you coast to coast, but like the sun, you lead me blind
Aye, aye, eh, alright

[Verse 3]
Overnight, life, it floats on by
Ride the tide until you die
Walk the line if you've seen the light
Will ya hold my hand on the other side?
[Chorus]
You left me like summer
I was up and now I'm down
And I loved you like summer
Now I do the winter rounds

[Post-Chorus]
Does your skin still bear at the salt from the summertime?
Your heart still hurt to know all your past crimes
You left me in the dark, you helped me lose my mind
I followed you coast to coast, but like the sun, you lead me blind

[Outro]
You left me like summer
You left me like summer
You left me like summer
And I loved you like summer
Aye, aye, eh
Aye, aye, eh
Aye, aye, eh
Aye, aye, eh
Left me like summer
Aye, aye, eh
