Lyrics

You shot me down

You rejected me

You set me up woman then you shot me down

You deceived me and then rejected me

All you did was say "see you around"

All you said was goodbye

You must have known, you must have seen it in my eyes

You should have understood, seen my love in my eyes

You must have known, I loved you woman, but now you're gone

You should have known I loved you, but now you've left


I'm a summer, ruined by rain

I had a joyful time (summer) that was ruined by sadness (rain)

I'm a pilot, shot down in flames

I had aspirations (pilot) that failed miserably

I'm a sailor, sunk without trace

I had dreams (sailor) that disappeared without a trace

The last time I saw your face

The final memory I have of you


Why, for heavens sake woman won't you tell me why

Expressing frustration, questioning the reason for the breakup

Have you ever seen a grown man cry

Asking if you witnessed the emotional pain I'm going through

I'm off my head, I'm going crazy thinking about this things you said

Feeling disoriented and distressed, dwelling on hurtful words

Could be with you but now instead

I could have been with you, but now that's not possible


I'm a summer, ruined by rain

Repeating the analogy of a ruined summer due to rain

I'm a pilot, shot down in flames

Reiterating the theme of failed aspirations, being shot down

I'm a sailor, sunk without trace

Emphasizing dreams disappearing without a trace

The last time I saw your face

Repeating the significance of the last memory of the person


I'm a summer, ruined by rain

Recalling the analogy of joy turning into sorrow

I'm a pilot, shot down in flames

Reiterating the theme of shattered dreams, failure

I'm a sailor, sunk without trace

Emphasizing dreams vanishing without a trace

The last time I saw your face

Highlighting the lasting impact of the final encounter
