Jewel Of The Summertime by Audioslave

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

They tried to hurt 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 summer-time

A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time

When I turned 21
I saw the sun pulling out of sight
All that I met were dark silhouette's
Stumbling in the night

But we collided, uh, huh
In a [Incomprehensible], uh, huh
Got a lot on me, uh, huh
Now I'm bathin' in the bright of divided rays

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time

A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
Time, time

I left that behind me, uh, huh
But somethin' blinded me, uh, huh
You reminded me, uh, huh
Of a better space and time, miles away

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time

A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time

A jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
A jewel of the summer-time

Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summertime
Jewel of the summer-time
