West Virginia Summer Child - Bob Lind

Someplace far in back of you

You may have known somebody who

Looked under what you tried to be

And never let you know that she

Could see that your ideals would only

Last a little while

Like West Virginia summer's child

The times are gone that brought the girl

Who watched me try to change the world

When I believed I'd write the songs

To point to roads of right and wrong

Silently she watched me try to

Put the world on trial

West Virginia summer's child

The night before I had to leave

When Denver winter stripped the trees

I cried all night against a nightgown sleeve

I only hope that she believes

I know what I was leaving

When I refuse to turn my eyes

From all my shabby alibis

And think I'm more than what I am

I hope she knows I'm glad I can

Surrender to the memory of the understanding smile

Of West Virginia summer's child
