Can't Remember Summer Lyrics - Light You Up - Shawn Mullins

There's a factory standing empty 

Where we built your Chevrolet 

And we sent our kids to college 

On a forty hour wage 

But now the windows all are broken 

There's graffiti on the walls 

And the kids came home from college 

And took a job down at the mall 

And the winter is getting longer 

And this town is frozen now 

And I can't remember summer 

It feels like spring may never come 

There's a half full whiskey bottle 

On the table by my bed 

And there's a hollow in the pillow 

Where she used to lay her head 

And all the dreams and all the memories 

Faded pictures and crooked frames 

Hang in silence down the hallway 

In the chill of what remains 

Now the winter is getting colder 

And my heart is frozen now 

And I can't remember summer 

It feels like spring may never come 

Shades of hopeless on the faces 

Of the souls who stand in light 

And Holy Jesus hangs on crosses 

And I hear Mother Mary crying 

Halleluiah, halleluiah 

Soon it all will disappear 

Buried under the snows of winter 

Just like we all were never here
