summer's gone
Aberfeldy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One two, one two three
Well, we get along
Yeah we really do
And there's nothing wrong
With what I feel for you
I could go with you, you, you
If you want me to
I could hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone

What a silly thing
For me to say to you
As the spring begins
To begin with you
And I know that it's hard, hard, hard

When the leaves are brown
And they're falling down
And the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

But I won't give up
And I won't give in
And I know it's tough
But I ain't a win
And I couldn't get away from you
Even if I wanted to
So I hang around
Till the leaves are brown
And the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

What I've got to do
What I've got to see
It was only you, and it was only me
And I know that it's hard, hard, hard
And I Know that it's hard
And the leaves are brown
And they're falling down
And the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing
I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

And I can't wait anymore for you
Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing




I can't wait anymore for you
The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone

Overall Meaning

The Aberfeldy’s song, “Summer’s Gone”, tells the story of a romantic relationship that is struggling to stay afloat as the seasons change. The opening lines suggest that the couple get along well and that there is nothing wrong with their relationship. However, the lyrics become more somber as the singer laments the passing of summer and the decline of their connection. The repeated refrain, “And I can't wait anymore for you/Spent the weekend, you've given me nothing/The feeling's strong, but the summer's gone,” suggests that despite the strong feelings that still exist, the singer is losing hope that their relationship can survive.


The chorus of the song acknowledges the inevitability of change, with the leaves turning brown and falling, and the singer unable to wait any longer for the object of their affection. However, in the verse following the chorus, the singer declares that they will not give up or give in, even though they know it’s hard. The song ends with a final acknowledgement of the difficulty of love, as the leaves continue to fall and the summer fades away.


Overall, “Summer’s Gone” presents a bittersweet picture of love in the face of change, capturing the complicated and often contradictory emotions that arise when relationships struggle to survive.
