The Door Into Summer

With his fools gold stacked up all around him

From a killing in the market on the war

The children left king midas there, as they found him

In his counting house where nothing counts but more

Chorus:

And he thought he heard the echo of a penny whistle band

And the laughter from a distant caravan

And the brightly painted line of circus wagons in the sand

Fading through the door into summer

Well, its travel onto "maybe next year" s places

As a trade-in for a name upon the door

And he pays for every year he cannot buy back with his tears

As he finds out theres been no one keeping score

Chorus...
