Reef Summer's In Bloom

When I was younger than now I am

I liked swimming, so I swam

The town side 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

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

Off to mugdley about the years 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,

I never ever ask why, I don't care why

I just know that

Summer's in bloom, summer's in bloom

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

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

The winter evening that I came home

Found out that my girl had gone

My father's eye told of a place that he'd been

Strong women play their own tune.

Summer's in bloom, summer's in bloom

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

Ah yeah
