Child of Summer Lyrics by First Aid Kit

Palomino Deluxe (Child of Summer Edition)

2023

[Verse 1]
Always wanted to be a child of summer
Maybe that would change my disposition
I've been running around all these years
Praying for some for some kind of intermission
And I never minded loneliness
In fact, I craved it like a hunger
But now I find myself alone again
And the sorrow takes me under
[Verse 2]
Born under the full bright moon
I guess that's what made me crazy
Wonder how our love could fade away
Perhaps we just got lazy
I never minded loneliness
Until it came to claim mе
So when I found myself alone again
I criеd like a baby
[Chorus]
Oh, love
Keep the weight off my shoulders
Keep the wind at my back
Oh, love
If I'm not there, am I on the right track?
[Verse 3]
Are you still wearing your blue raincoat?
The one that's torn at the shoulder
We used to dance and laugh and sing
With no thought of ever growing older
And I never needed reassurance
From some kind of higher power
But now I find myself wondering
In my lonely hour
[Verse 4]
And I keep thinking there's a place to go
Somewhere I can start over
I'll just wander this big old world
End up another deadbeat rover
But if I needed company
Would you be there to guide me?
If there's no path for me to take
Then I'll wait for it to find me
[Chorus]
Oh, love
Keep the weight off my shoulders
Keep the wind at my back
Oh, love
If I'm not there, am I on the right track?
[Outro]
Always wanted to be a child of summer
Maybe that would change my disposition
