When I was 18 I didn't know pain when the sun was high
Burnt face, shadow's erased and I knew I'd be alright
Left that behind me (uh-huh)
Somethin' blinded me (uh-huh
That reminded me (uh-huh)
Of a better space and time miles away

The Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime

When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight
All that I met were dark silhouettes stumbling in the night
But we collided (uh-huh)
And I finally (uh-huh)
Got a light on me (uh-huh)
Now I'm bathing in the bright of divided rays

Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime

A Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime
Time, time

I left that behind me (uh-huh)
But somethin' blinded me (uh-huh)
That reminded me (uh-huh)
Of a better space and time miles away

Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime
A Jewel of the Summertime

A Jewel of the Summertime
A Jewel of the Summertime
A Jewel of the Summertime

A Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime

Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime
Jewel of the Summertime
