Edwin McCain Follow

Pacing gently the summer wind
The king stares softly to the sky
And will he ever see his home again
Deep from his heart he starts to cry

As his songs hit the air and young hearts are awake
Soon they join in the chorus they're sharing all his ache

There's a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summer's on the lion's song
Sung from Cleveland Park

And the high school kids ignore it and they have their own tune
They're just showing off the speakers in their ride
And I know what I'm sayin' and I grew up too soon
And youth goes hand in hand with foolish pride

As their song hits the air and young hearts start to break
The lions join in the chorus they're sharing all their ache

There's a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summer's on, the lion's song
Sung from Cleveland Park

In Cleveland Park trees breathe a sigh of all the summers gone
Skeletons in wintertime they sing the lions song

There's a lifetime out there somewhere
Somewhere in the dark
And summer's on the lion's song
Sung from Cleveland Park

Well summer's on the lion's song
Sung from Cleveland Park
Sung from Cleveland Park
Oh sung from Cleveland Park
Sung from Cleveland Park
