The chimes were heard from a paint-peeled front porch 
And it ran the chord in the cold wind 
And those girls next door might have heard it before 
If they did then it never was mentioned 
Janie, I'm sorry, but summer is over and done 
And I'm trying to get back before it's too long 
My eyes are opened up 
So, Janie 
I'm sorry, but summer is over and done. 
Dry leaves burned, the colors had turned 
The smoke from it churned as it floated 
Over the roofs like string cut balloons 
Adrift in an autumn parade. 
Janie, I'm sorry, but summer is over and done 
And I'm trying to get back before it's too long 
My eyes are opened up 
So, Janie 
I'm sorry, but summer is over and done. 
Over and done. 
I've been too long to tell you that 
I've gone too long without you 
But summer's over 
Over and done. 
Over and Janie, 
I'm sorry, but summer is over and done 
And I'm trying to get back before it's too long. 
My eyes are opened up 
So, Janie 
I'm sorry, but summer is over and done. 
Summer is over and 
Janie, I'm sorry, but summer is over and done. 
Over and done.
