Summer Summer Sun Summer Sun Summer Bite my blue skin Let your teeth sink in Taste my fruit baby Summer, summer, summer, summer Sink your teeth in Blue skin, blue skin Taste my fruit baby Summer, summer, summer, summer Sun Summer Sun Summer Sun Summer Sun Summer Summer Summer, summer, summer Summer, summer, summer Summer Summer sun Summer, summer sun Summer, summer, summer sun Summer I just thought he was asleep And then I realised he wasn't breathing I didn't know what to do So I called you Summer Summer Summer Summer, summer, summer, summer Summer Summer, summer Summer Summer Summer Summer Summer Summer Sun Summer Sun Summer Summer Summer Without a fixed destination And only a vague fantasy to give me guidance I cruised through the lavender vapour Draping the fields of flickering bulbs Giving them a more friendly glow Softening the blow of the heavy wind Offering my boat a protective coat of mist Swans by my side, my devoted compasses Keep me gliding smoothly And remind me to stick with it They let me get sick with it, if I want to If I fall back into bed Their wavering stamina mirrors my own exhaustion From the years of rowing, rowing, rowing, rowing Cough Their coughing and heaving Their strained breathing rests on me I welcome it It breaks up the quiet periods And keeps me company when I lose track of myself Throw the rope out to the sea Sail away boy Sail away little boy
