THE SUMMER SONG SUMMER has been good to me I was born 4 weeks past the solstice SUMMER has been my friend I never minded the heat I loved those long, long days I loved the light, I loved the light Let mosquitos bite me and bees can sting my feet I want to live where I can feel the heat I was born in a northern town 6 months of snow on the ground I always prayed for summer to come around Because I loved the light, I loved the light No more homework, just run, and swim and hide Ride the bike away and get lost in the countryside Off to the campsite North to the lake Honolulu's salty lagoons. California coastline stretched out of site. Huracaine waters off the Yucatan Were brewing up that night I don't mind the wind and the storm Just as long as the rain is warm The older I grow the more I shun the cold I love the light, I love the light You haven't lived until you've hiked barefoot thru snow Or broke through the ice into a dark silenthole I love the light, I love the light |
