From the recording Hero
Lyrics
Come with me, she said, into Summerland
Mind though, how long is your stay
The briefest of moments in Summerland
are measured out here in days
measured out here in days
She was the rarest of beauties
with soft auburn hair
gazing into her emerald eyes
made me lose all my worries and cares
Come with me, she said, into Summerland
Mind though, how long is your stay
The briefest of moments in Summerland
are measured out here in days
measured out here in days
I lost myself in her beauty
surrendered my sense to her smile
I thought I might just be able
to travel with her for a while
Come with me, she said, into Summerland
Mind though, how long is your stay
The briefest of moments in Summerland
are measured out here in days
measured out here in days
She led me into a valley
where summer was fully in sway
everything bathed in the golden light
of the evening of midsummers day
Come with me, she said, into Summerland
Mind though, how long is your stay
The briefest of moments in Summerland
are measured out here in days
measured out here in days
I stayed with her only an hour
could’ve never been more than a few
I then returned to the town I was from
to no sign of the life that I knew
The village had long been abandoned
No clues except dust and decay
Found my family and friends in the graveyard
Traded all of my life for one day
Come with me, she said, into Summerland
Mind though, how long is your stay
The briefest of moments in Summerland
are measured out here in days
measured out here in days
