lyrics

I turn my head up to the sky,
Hey hey my my in the summer.
I turn my head and wonder why,
Hey hey my my in the summer.
I don't know where you've gone,
Know not where you're coming from.
I don't want to stay,
Alone on a summer day.

She was the tortured one,
Hey hey my my in the summer.
She looked straight into the sun,
Hey hey my my in the summer.
I don't know if it's here,
Love into your tender ear.
I don't want to stay,
Alone on a summer day.

Is it too late to say?
Hey hey my my in the summer.
I never loved you anyway,
Hey hey my my in the summer.
I don't know where she's gone,
Know not where she's coming from.
I don't want to stay,
Alone on a summer day.

And I read what you said,
Hey hey my my in the summer.
I turn my head and yes she's dead,
Hey hey my my in the summer.
I don't know where I'll go,
Maybe to the Gulf of Mexico.
As long as I don't have to stay,
Alone on a summer day.
