Fatal Summer
Music and Lyrics by James McNair Ramsey

You’ve become as the arbor vine, as a dance upon the sea
You’ve become as a light defined by day
And this love that you’ve issued forth is waiting there is waiting there for me
Taking us back to the place we longed to be

Because we love each other, life has taken on a salient explanation of the past
Because we love each other, love’s become my only lover
And this might prove to have been my fatal summer
My fatal summer

Looking down on the landing lights at the missile sights of Rome
Don’t you know that for some things never change?
Yet if we could hold the tide against the loss of hope
We could be there at the break of a brand new day

Because we love each other, life has taken on a salient explanation of the past
Because we love each other, love’s become my only lover
And this might prove to have been my fatal summer
My fatal summer

In a world of endless compromise that undermines the will
Thelema you’re my last resort as I move upon the hill
And I don’t know where I’m going to and I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know it’s not within myself to refuse this chance to sing

Because we love each other, life has taken on a salient explanation of the past
Because we love each other, love’s become my only lover
And this might prove to have been my fatal summer
