Summer has come and passed / The innocent can never last / Wake me up when September ends

Like my father’s come to pass / Seven years has gone so fast / Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again / Falling from the stars / Drenched in my pain again / Becoming who we are

As my memory rests / But never forgets what I lost / Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed / The innocent can never last / Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again / Like we did when spring began / Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again / Falling from the stars / Drenched in my pain again / Becoming who we are

As my memory rests / But never forgets what I lost / Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed / The innocent can never last / Wake me up when September ends

Like my father’s come to pass / Twenty years has gone so fast / Wake me up when September ends…
