Janie
Further Seems Forever Lyrics

The times were heard
The sounds were audible

From a paint build front porch
From the porch, which was painted with many coats of paint

And it ran a chord in the cold wind
And the sound it made was like a chord being played, carried by the cold wind

And those girls next door
The girls living next door

Might've heard it before
They might have heard it before, at a different time or place

If they did then it never was mentioned
If they did, they never talked about it

Janie I'm sorry but summer is over
Janie, I apologize, but summer has come to an end

And darling I'm trying to get back before it's too long
My beloved, I'm attempting to return before it's too late

My eyes are opened up
I have awakened to the reality of the situation

So Janie I'm sorry but summer is over and done
So Janie, I'm sorry to say that summer has ended and can't be recovered

Drag leaves burnt the colors have turned
The leaves were dragged and burned, causing the colors to change

The smoke from it turned as it floated
The smoke changed its shape and direction as it floated

Over the roofs like string cut balloons
Over the roofs, like balloons with their strings cut, free to float away

A drifting and autumn parade
An autumn parade, moving slowly and aimlessly

Have been too long to tell you
It's been too much time that's elapsed to express to you

That I've gone too long without you
That I've been without you for too long

But summer's over
But summer has ended

Over and done
Finished and gone

Summer is over and
Summer has concluded and

Janie I'm sorry but summer is over and done
Janie, I regret to inform you that summer has ended and can't be reclaimed

Over and done
Finished and gone
