Never Summer Nights

Tonight I'm channeling Stevie Wonder
tonight I'm singing in the rain
tonight I'm letting her smile get the best of me
in the morning, I'll be rolling on the floor in pain

Heartache feels like an avalanche
heartache breaks my back
heartache empties my purple veins
and my bones shiver for an impending heart attack

So tell me, dear emotions, just where you wanna go
And tell me to never fear a never summer night
alright?

Today she's channeling Joan of Arc
today I'm tending the fire
today I'm bringing out the saint in her
leaving the night reserved for my crazed desire

So tell me, blue oceans, just when are you gonna swallow me?
I gotta know when she crosses the never summer night
to make sure I'm not alright

And tell me there's a potion I can find, like that #9
I wanna know a local anesthetic to the never summer night
to see me through alright

I am the tambourine man
I am the beautiful loser
I am hearing the sounds of silence
and I can't see past the curve of her

So tell me, snare drum heart, an easy way through
this never summer night,
because...

Tonight I'm surfing the channels
Tonight I'm the stinging rain
Tonight I'm letting her eyes find the best in me
and in the morning, I'll never be the same

And in the morning after this never summer night
my heart will be drifting into the harbor,
perfectly sane -
alright?

What a great write! You never disappoint this reader, but I really really did enjoy each and every line of this one. And now I'm humming something from the past.
