My Ode to the End of Summer: "Summer Will Never Last"

While I do enjoy writing, what I like writing the most are songs.  This is a song that I wrote called Summer Will Never Last.  The brilliant guitarist Guy DeBreilly played guitar on the recording.  Guy lives in France and we exchanged music file via the Internet.

Here is a link to the Youtube video for the song here.

Summer Will Never Last

Words and music by Sean Tully (my virtual band name is The Cracks)

Excited children
Playing in the sand
Running and laughing
Buckets in their hands

Their parents smile
Hope for a while
That this moment will never pass

They know that summer
Even long summer
They know that summer will never last

Beautiful garden
So green in the sun
Old woman weeding
Knows the day is done

Her trowel is digging
Her heart is singing
Even as shadows creep on past

She knows that summer
Even long summer
She knows that summer will never last

We were young lovers
Hid behind the dunes
Time seemed to stand still
When we met in June

August is fading
Seasons are changing
Who knew that life went by so fast

We know that summer
Even long summer
We know that summer will never last

Will never last
Will never last
