Lyrics:
Been down so long I don’t want to talk about it
Even when you act like you do
There’s been a change, a change in the weather
And now the story’s up to you

Sick and tired, afraid of your own shadow
Even the photos don’t look like you
Against a wall, backed into a corner
Don’t you struggle it ain’t no use 

Summer skies are gone
The autumn wind blows cold
The winter nights grow long

Black and blue, I’m so tired of trying
You beat me down, I’m feeling used
If you could see my face at this moment
You would know what I think of you

The wind it blows, I stand on the corner
Wasting my time waiting for you
Five more minutes and I’m just leaving
Don’t give a damn what you do

Summer skies are gone
The autumn wind blows cold
The winter nights grow long

We all go back to where we started from
No use in running when your work ain’t done
A jilted lover with a loaded gun
It’s in the darkness that you learn to run
Just keep on running until you feel the sun
Then let it go when your time has come
And if the first leads to the final one
You’ll know exactly where I’m coming from

Summer skies are gone
The autumn wind blows cold
The winter nights grow long

Summer skies are gone
The autumn wind blows cold
The winter nights grow long

Been down so long I don’t want to talk about it
Even when you act like you do
There’s been a change, a change in the weather
And now the story’s up to you.

Sick and tired, afraid of your own shadow
Even the photos don’t look like you
Against a wall, backed into a corner
Don’t try to struggle it ain’t no use
