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   Left that behind 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 Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime      When I turned 21 I saw the sun pulling out of sight   All that I met were dark silhouettes stumbling in the night   But we collided (uh-huh)   And I finally (uh-huh)   Got a light on me (uh-huh)   Now I'm bathing in the bright of divided rays      Jewel of the Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime      A Jewel of the Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime   Time, time      I left that behind me (uh-huh)   But somethin' blinded me (uh-huh)   That reminded me (uh-huh)   Of a better space and time miles away      Jewel of the Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime   A Jewel of the Summertime      A Jewel of the Summertime   A Jewel of the Summertime   A Jewel of the Summertime      A Jewel of the Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime      Jewel of the Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime   Jewel of the Summertime
