Lyrics

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
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
