The chimes were heard
From a paint peeled front porch
And it rang a chord in the cold wind
And those girls next door
Might have heard it before
If they did then it never was mentioned

Janie I'm sorry
But summer is over and done
And I'm trying to get back before it's too long
My eyes are opened up
So Janie I'm sorry
But summer is over and done

Dry leaves burned
The colors had turned
The smoke from it churned as it floated
Over the roofs like string cut balloons
Adrift in an autumn parade

Janie I'm sorry
But summer is over and done
And I'm trying to get back before it's too long
My eyes are opened up
So Janie I'm sorry
But summer is over and done
Over and done

I've been too low to tell you
That I've gone too long without you
But summer's over, over and done
Over and

Janie I'm sorry
But summer is over and done
And I'm trying to get back before it's too long
My eyes are opened up
So Janie I'm sorry
But summer is over and done
Summer is over and
Janie I'm sorry
But summer is over and done
Over and done
