When I was 18
I didn't know pain when the sun was high
Burnt face, shadow's erased
And I knew I'd be alright
They tried to hurt me, uh, huh
Somethin' blinded me, uh, huh
That reminded me, uh, huh
Of a better space and time, miles away
The jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
When I turned 21
I saw the sun pulling out of sight
All that I met were dark silhouette's
Stumbling in the night
But we collided, uh, huh
In a [Incomprehensible], uh, huh
Got a lot on me, uh, huh
Now I'm bathin' in the bright of divided rays
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
Time, time
I left that behind me, uh, huh
But somethin' blinded me, uh, huh
You reminded me, uh, huh
Of a better space and time, miles away
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
