Waiting For Summer

When I was waiting for summer
Dreaming of all the lovers I know won't take
I'll fixate on some other
I'll move on to parties and pools and petals enchanting me with all their colours
Being kissed by the sun as I lie in a careless and lazy afternoon slumber
When I was waiting for summer

With days to waste on drinking
And effortless wistful thinking
Of what it'd feel like to be soaring
And what it'd be like to be sinking
Waiting for summer
Waiting for summer

When I was waiting for summer
The peace of a time that was made to make life live life and to recover
From winters so cold that the flowers retreat and we wrap ourselves up in jumpers
A time to taste all the flavours to try what the world offers us to discover
When I was waiting for summer

With days to waste on drinking
And effortless wistful thinking
Of what it'd feel like to be soaring
And what it'd be like to be
Summer
Waiting for summer

The seasons came when Eve took the bait
And the apple fell from the tree
The clouds covered sky, thunder roared through the night
And winter was ours to see
But God left us with a taste of the old
A past that we'd long to keep
The time of the sun, blink twice and it's gone, an eternal fantasy
