The summer sun was fading   Struggling leaves were changing   He closed his eyes and hummed this tune      It's every step she's taking   Every breath she takes are so   Beautiful and pure      But the image came out flat   The flowers withered to the ground   And there is nothing to be done      I don't know why   Can't get it off my mind   I don't know why   Can't get it off my mind      Shouting cranes where flying south   Dew on the grass was blistering bright   And it got dark as the time went by      There's no time for regression   You're way too young for pondering   He closed his eyes and hummed this tune      And now there is something to be done   All the colors disappeared   Yet he couldn't see things clear      I don't know why   Can't get it off my mind   I don't know why   Can't get it off my mind      Girl, don't leave me this way
