The winter doesn't want you It haunts you, summer serenading's a long way From this frozen place, your face Our teacher, our preacher It's nature, and like flowers growing in up on crater Where nothing arose, it grows I been thinking 'bout the west coast Not the one that everyone knows Well she quit living in the shadows We've one more chance before the light goes Before the summer of love Summer of love We're freezing, we're leaving Believing that all we need's ahead of us somewhere In a summer to come, so we run I been thinking 'bout the west coast Not the one that everyone knows Well she quit living in the shadows We've one more chance before the light goes Before the summer of love Summer of love Oh, and when all is lost When all is lost, we find our world remains Oh, the same ocean's crust The summer's pleasure, the sun is pain I been thinking 'bout the west coast Not the one that everyone knows In the role, pull out the lampra (?) Flowers blooming in the shadows Before the summer of love Summer of love
