Even when he makes the rounds, makes the rounds
High summer on the rebound
And they shut him out of paradise
Far away from the politicians
If you see him, nothing is shaken
And he wears a starry crown
Far away from the jealousy factor
'Cos high summer has got me down
And the many chosen few
And get off this merry-go-round
Checked in to the tiny village by the lakeside
She's standing by the rhododendrons
And in her head, she hums this tune
And he wears a starry crown
There's been no two ways about it
He's a light out of the darkness
'Cos he took pride in what God made him
Looking out at the Atlantic ocean
Called him Lucifer and frowned
Can we wait till the end of August
Even before the angels shot him to the ground
High summer on the rebound
And a story does unfold
Where the roses are in bloom
High summer's got him lonesome
He's a light out of the darkness
Called him Lucifer and frowned
High summer's got him low down
If you see him, nothing will shake him
And everything that was tearing him apart
'Cos high summer's got him low down
She took pride in what God made him
'Cos high summer's got him low down
High summer's got him low down
And everyone that played their part
Far away from the organ grinder
High summer got him low down
Settled down to start anew
And they shut him out of paradise
And pulls up into the driveway
Thank God, the dark nights are drawing in again
High summer on the rebound
Even before the angels shot him down to the ground
