children’s laughter fades
and mowers‘ engines are turned off
pools are covered and cicadas stop
with a sudden final stroke
we could all use a last sip of that drink
and so, summer is gone
you are in the Czech capitol
and we are bound by memories
so the summer is gone
umbrellas are folded
and hotels drop their prices
waiters now wipe rain drops off their tables
like i am swiping pictures on my phone
highway traffic is the last rebellion of the year
and so, summer is gone
you are in the Czech capitol
and we are bound by memories
so the summer is gone
I’m stacking chairs, I’ll bring the ashtrays in
and all things left outside are waiting for the next year to begin
and so, summer is gone
you are in the Czech capitol
and we are bound by memories
so the summer is gone
