Sierra Hull - Summer's End / John Prine Cover (Official Audio)

Like so many, since the loss of the legendary John Prine, I’ve had his songs on repeat. “Summer’s End” is my favorite song from his final album, The Tree of Forgiveness. I recorded this acoustic version from my home with only a couple of mics. Songs like this one have given me a lot of peace over the last few months. Hope you enjoy my version!

SUMMER'S END (John E Prine/Patrick James McLaughlin)

Summer's end's around the bend just flying
The swimming suits are on the line just drying
I'll meet you there per our conversation
I hope I didn't ruin your whole vacation

Well you never know how far from home you're feeling
Until you watch the shadows cross the ceiling
Well I don't know but I can see it snowing
In your car the windows are wide open

Just come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to be alone
Just come on home

Valentines, break hearts and minds at random
That ol' Easter egg ain't got a leg to stand on
Well I can see that you can't win for trying
And New Year's Eve is bound to leave you crying

Come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to be alone
Just come on home

The moon and stars hang out in bars just talking
I still love that picture of us walking
Just like that ol' house we thought was haunted
Summer's end came faster than we wanted

Come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to be alone
Come on home

The use of a detuned mandolin is so magical. It adds such a dreamy hypnotic state. Really inspirational.

Quickly becoming a national treasure in her own right

A voice that gets more sweet, more pure, more angelic every day. Heaven on earth!
