All Summer Long

In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. - Albert Camus Well it don't matter if it's night or day I want to talk to you and then I dream about you Don't think the days or weeks have got a say I don't know what to do, I'm so wrapped up in you Do I really need to have a reason When everybody else is out of season I'd like to bask a little longer under your sunshine So I can grow a little stronger with this peace of mind I don't know who invented spring or fall But when the rain is through, I hope it leads to you The snow of winter I can't feel at all It's not the frosty dew that's got me turning blue Don't mention January, May or November They come from seasons I don't want to remember I float like Icarus under the hot hot sun I gotta keep myself down from having too much fun Got my feet on the ground, I want to fly Stormy weather around, can't reach the sky Turn my eye from the sun, it makes me cry Why I try to be strong all summer long I think I see your face in clouds that fog my mind Gone without a trace, nothing but sky so blue Left here without a clue, can't make my way to you And never knowing what I'm gonna find I’m living week to week in such a blur My present tense outlasts confusion with your past I'll never trust another calendar Nine months of overcast for three that fade so fast I think that fighting for our liberation Was the illusion of a generation 'Cause what they didn't mention back in 1968 After a summer of love comes an autumn of heartache Got my feet on the ground, I want to fly Stormy weather around, can't reach the sky Turn my eye from the sun, it makes me cry Why I try to be strong all summer Got my feet on the ground, I want to fly Stormy weather around, can't reach the sky Turn my eye from the sun, it makes me cry Why I try to be strong all summer long All summer, just a summer long Chrispy - Lead & background vocals Graydon Gunthardt - Background vocals Chip Westerfield - Guitars, bass, keyboards & harmonica Joe Giordano - Drums A Chrispy Chip Adventure Produced by Chip Westerfield & Chrispy Engineered by Chip Westerfield Art by Joey Christopher Songs by Chrispy © 2026 From The Ellis Deviants EP All Summer Long.
