Lyrics Shawn Mullins – Can’t Remember Summer
Text:
There’s a factory standin’ empty
Where we built your Chevrolet
And we sent our kids to college
On a 40 hour wage
But now the windows all are broken
There’s graffiti on the walls
And the kids came home from college
And took a job down at the mall
And the winter is getting longer
And this town is frozen up
And I can’t remember summer
It feels like spring may never come
There’s a half full whiskey bottle
On the table by my bed
And there’s a hollow in the pillow
Where she used to lay her head
And all the dreams
And all the memories
Faded pictures in crooked frames
Hang in silence down the hallway
In the chill of what remains
Now the winter is getting colder
And my heart is frozen up
And I can’t remember summer
It feels like spring may never come
Shades of hopeless
On the faces
Of the souls
Who stand in line
And holy Jesus hangs on crosses
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Soon it all will disappear
Buried under the snows of winter
Just like we all were never here
