Lyrics

Poison
(Summer come, Summer gone, Summer come,)
From day to day I find it hard
To find it at all
Maybe I’m just asking to much
Maybe I don’t know
But I believe the light will come
The sky will open up wide
Heaven will send me someone
To lay here by my side.
I’ve got a ticket but I can’t find it
I’ve got a ride but I’m running late
I’ve got a way, got a way, got to, got to get away

Poison in the water, (My sugar) Poison in my bed, (My coffee) Poison in the air I breath, I’ve got a reason to be scared.

Poison in the water, (My lover) Poison in my bed,(I scare you) Poison in the air I breath, I’ve got a reason to be scared. (You’ve got a reason to be scared)

The trees are full with autumn fruit
Drop me to the ground
Evidence of the life that was
Never to be found
September moon fly high
Show me my rest
Paint a quilt of morning dew
Cold upon my chest

Summer come, summer gone, summer here but I can’t find it
It got away, got away, summer got away

Poison in the water, (My sugar) Poison in my bed, (My coffee) Poison in the air I breath, I’ve got a reason to be scared. ( I said, I’ve got a reason to be scared)
Poison in the water, (Oh, My lover) Poison in my bed, Poison in the air I breath, I’ve got a reason to be scared.(You are my reason to be scared)

Poison in the water, Poison in my bed, Poison in the air I breath,
I’ve got a reason to be scared.
Poison in the water, Poison in my bed, Poison in the air I breath,
I’ve got a reason to be scared.
