I could go out for a while to clear my head,
But I know I'd only picture you instead,
With an inescapable conclusion waiting then:
It was fun to charge at windmills with a friend.
As a catalyst, you rearranged my thoughts,
I received a list of battles to be fought,
And for anyone who listened, I would recommend,
It was fun to charge at windmills with a friend.
Because there ain't no cure for the summertime muse,
I can't spring back from the fall I took,
I'm the seasoned winner of my discontented truth.
Well, in hindsight things weren't quite as advertised,
But I still maintain a fondness in disguise,
And I might just miss you more than I can comprehend
It was fun to charge at windmills with a friend
Because there ain't no cure for the summertime muse,
I can't spring back from the fall I took,
I'm the seasoned winner of my discontented truth.
So we drift apart through mutual neglect,
And I don't know if some day we'll reconnect,
But if we don't, there's one last message I will send:
"It was fun to charge at windmills with a friend".
