Summer is Slipping Away

Summer is slipping away

Quietly sneaking away

Hiding behind mountain peaks

Floating fast on shallow rivers

Swinging from one tree to another 

Summer is rolling away 

Quietly sneaking away

Jumping from low hanging sunsets

Diving into deserted swimming pools

Claiming sole ownership of all cocktails 

Summer is "wasting" away

Quietly sneaking away

Riding on wings of empty planes

Snoring inaudably in holiday suitcases 

Stealing smiles from our children 

Summer is running away 

Quietly sneaking away

Summer is slipping away

Quietly sneaking away
