 mama  twenty-three I can still hear some of the songs you used to
  o
 
 
 play  from that summer  of love in '68 it seems it turned into a a winter
 of hate
 
 
 
 
 
 
 and  I.... am burning out again it's ti...me I'd rise above the pain
 
 
 
 
 
 toni....ght  there is fever in my veins toni....ght there is fever in
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 my  veins yehee summer of love.. winter of hate
