about

This is one of the songs written a long time ago, as well, based on a true story as all my songs actually are. It's about having the courage to start over, to leave from a place and a relationship that has never been a peaceful and growing place for you. There are few metaphors that suggest the inner peace and the It's a beautiful thing that one of the verses of the song tells about birds, which are such free creatures, and it se start over, ems to me that this unthought-of coincidence carries the mystery of the Elven Bird name.

lyrics

1. In the summertime Franz told me
That he's no longer a child
That he wants to earn a lot of money
For his woman and his uborn child.

2. In the summertime, Franz showed me
Where we could live and hide
There were no mountains, trees nor flowers
But a small room in a pale light.

Bridge: So I just walked through that door
With all my dreams and all
I closed the door to that house
And let the sun arise.

Chorus: You tell me,
Have you ever tried to love someone
By letting them feel so free
As only a bird could be.

3. In the summertime, Franz wrote me
Letting me know he has a child
And though he ears a lot of money
He's unhappy and wants to live into the wild.
