By the mansion on the hillside
   Red sports car comes driving down the road
   And pulls up into the driveway
   And a story does unfold
  
   She's standing by the rhododendrons
   Where the roses are in bloom
   Looking out at the Atlantic ocean
   And in her head she hums this tune
  
   Thank God the dark nights are drawing in again
   'Cos high summer has got me down
   I'll wait till the end of August
   And get off this merry-go-round
  
   And they shut him out of paradise
   Called him Lucifer and frowned
   She took pride in what God made him
   Even before the angels shot him down to the ground
  
   He's a light out of the darkness
   And he wears a starry crown
   If you see him, nothing will shake him
   'Cos high summer has got him low down
  
   High summer's got him lonesome
   Eyen when he makes the rounds
   There's been no two ways about it
   High summer's got him low down
  
   Checked in to the tiny village by the lakeside
   Settled down to start a new
   Far away from the politicians
   And the many chosen few
  
   Far away trom the jealousy factor
   And everything that was tearing him apart
   Far away from the organ grinder
   And everyone that played their part
  
   And they shut him out of paradise
   Called him Lucifer and frowned
   'Cos he took pride in what God made him
   Eyen before the angels shot him to the ground
  
   He's a light out of the darkness
   And he wears a starry crown
   If you see him nothings shaken
   'Cos high summer's got him low down
  
   High summer's on the rebound
   High summer's got him low down
   High summer's on the rebound
   High summer's got him down, low down
   High summer's on the rebound
   High summer's got him low down
   Low down
