The Ghost of Summer Walking

So today I have become
 The ghost of summer walking
 Flesh and gristle, blood and bone
 The ghost of summer walking
 I think she left when I got bored
 And could offer nothing
 I'm not the one you used to know
 I'm the ghost of summer walking
 Time will write its name on you
 And all of those that love you
 Another sad sack gone to seed
 With vulture up above you
 I think I fail 'cause I get tired
 Of all the endless hoping
 Here I am in faded glory
 Walking
 Do I have to explain?
 Do I have to explain?
 Hallelujah, here he comes
 The ghost of summer walking
 All of us one day become
 The ghost of summer walking
 Do I have to explain?
 Do I have to explain?
 So today I have become
 The ghost of summer walking
 Flesh and gristle, blood and bone
 The ghost of summer walking
 I know she left when she got bored
 And could offer nothing
 I'm not the one I used to be
 I'm the ghost of summer walking
