Only The Good Ones Die In Summer - Persephone

Wide fields ahead

I feel the sun again

Though there is no joy

Coming over me

The shadows cover up

What darkness couldn’t see

A million unknown strangers

Have died but not for me

Only the good ones die in summer

Softly, as does no other

Will they reach the perfect silence?

Or roaming 'round a thousand miles?

You will know…

When you die in summer

Straight ahead I make my way

Through the madness in a day

I gather all my sorrow

With the sun beating down aside

The shadows cover up

What darkness would never be

Slightly groping hands

Reaching out for me

Only the good ones die in summer

Softly, as does no other

Will they reach the perfect silence?

Or roaming 'round a thousand miles?

You will know…

When you die in summer

In the shadow of a dying tree

I find myself

Waiting for silence

Desperation is my friend

Only the good ones die in summer

Softly, as does no other

Will I reach the perfect silence?

Or roaming 'round a thousand miles?

I would know…

If I died in summer
