Summers in Bloom - Reef

Yeah

Yeah

When I was younger than now I am

I liked swimming, so I swam

The townside of old Cinnamon Lane

Tarmac broken from sun, up the grass came

Up willow I would climb to the top

Hang and watch the water drop

From my feet to the river below

Young strength finally waned, then I followed

I love that glow and now I know:

Summer’s in bloom, summer’s in bloom, yeah

Light her up, let her fill the room

Speak no lie

Summer’s in bloom, summer’s in bloom

Light her up, let her fill the room

The room, the room, the room, the room, the room, yeah

Off to Mugdley around the year’s end

I shout up «Let's have a swim!»

I expect all my friends to say no

'They agree so in we go!

I got a stinging nettle rash for it

But I’m so very happy that I did, yeah

I never ever ask why

I don’t care why

I just know that:

Summer’s in bloom, summer’s in bloom, yeah

Light her up, let her fill the room

Speak no lie

Summer’s in bloom, summer’s in bloom

Light her up, let her fill the room

The room, the room, the room, the room, the room, the room yeah

When I was younger than now I am

I liked swimming, so I swam

The townside of old Cinnamon Lane

Tarmac broken from the sun, up the grass, came

But trouble, when I got home, listen!

The winter evening that I come home

Found out that my girl had gone!

My father’s eye told of a place that he’d been, yeah

Strong women play their own tune

Summer’s in bloom, summer’s in bloom, yeah

Light her up, let her fill the room

Speak no lie

Summer’s in bloom, summer’s in bloom

Light her up, let her fill the room

The room, the room, the room, the room, the room, the ahh yeah
