I'VE SAVED THE SUMMER
I've saved the summer
And I give it all to you
To hold on① winter mornings
When the snow is new.
I've saved some sunlight
If you should②ever need
A place away from darkness③
Where your mind can feed④.
And for myself I've kept your smile
When you were but⑤ nineteen,
Till you're older you'll not know⑥
What brave young smiles can mean.
I know no answers⑦
To help you on your way
The answers lie somewhere
At the bottom of the day⑧.
But if you've a need for⑨ love
I'll give you all I own
It might help you down⑩ the road
Till you've found your own.
