lyrics

Leaves are changing; life is waning
The sun's retreating to his southern home
Summer's come and summer's gone
Just like you. Just like you.

It's been a year since you’ve been gone
Time's so short and yet so long
My empty heart keeps beating on
Persephone, I’m missing you. Persephone, I’m missing you

We never had our Indian summer
We never got to sing our song
And when I sing, I'm really calling
Out to you to sing along. Calling out to you to sing along.

Sometimes the words are overflowing
And melodies are hard to catch
The music's always going, going
Just like you. Just like you

Another summer; another autumn
Around we go in the ancient dance
It’s hard to live without your lover
And live alone in a frozen land. I’m on my own in a frozen land

We never had our Indian summer
We never got to sing our song
And when I sing, I'm really calling
Out to you to sing along. Calling out to you to sing along.

Persephone don't forget me
You know our love is true
Spring will come and so will summer
Just like you. Just like you

And that summer will last forever
Just like you. Just like you
You know our summer will last forever
Just like me. Just like you
