summer's in bloom lyrics

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
