The summer sun was fading
Struggling leaves were changing
He closed his eyes and hummed this tune

It's every step she's taking
Every breath she takes are so
Beautiful and pure

But the image came out flat
The flowers withered to the ground
And there is nothing to be done

I don't know why
Can't get it off my mind
I don't know why
Can't get it off my mind

Shouting cranes where flying south
Dew on the grass was blistering bright
And it got dark as the time went by

There's no time for regression
You're way too young for pondering
He closed his eyes and hummed this tune

And now there is something to be done
All the colors disappeared
Yet he couldn't see things clear

I don't know why
Can't get it off my mind
I don't know why
Can't get it off my mind

Girl, don't leave me this way
