Story Behind The Song
Every year when the summer ends, or any season passes us by, we are somewhat surprised at how time can fly. This is an appreciation of all the things around us that we don't notice until they're silent in the winter. It's also a reflection of the cycle of life and that we should appreciate the time we have, because someday, we too will return to the earth.

Lyrics
Wondering where we go
Fortified by the snow
Petrified by the glow
of sunset
Grabbing the longest reed
Slipping by on our boat
Current is heading south
Let the paddles go
Oh, this is the summer's end
Oh, this is the summer's end
Withering, wavering, waiting
Every year is the same
Oh, this is the summer's end
Making worth of sounds, oh
Of cricket's birth and the owl
who sees what we don't
Concrete life, concrete lies,
not all live, everything dies
I hope to see another sunrise
Beautiful eyes are watching
tending a harvest of time
if you are asking for clarity
you cannot know sun without rain
