Name: Summer Song
Duration: P00H03M21S
Description: A tune about longing and loss that also seems relevant in these trying times. Mark and Dave laid down the basic tracks with guitar, bass, and vocal. Then Bob played the banjo in ways you don’t usually hear it played - lots of very subtle harmonics. Mark Smith does all the lead and harmony vocal parts over Mark Bagdon’s plaintive fiddle tones.

lyrics

Summer tell me all your lies. Put me under your spell.
Go ahead remind me of tales only time can tell.
Haunt me with your open mind. Flood my memories.
Treat me to your endless song of possibilities.

Summer make a fool of me. It's easy for you.
Make me think that promises will always come true.
I'm not sorry you always get your way.
I'm only sorry you won't stay.

Sing me songs of hope. Songs of sweet surrender
I’ll be yours again.
Tell me I'm not wrong.
Make me think that time will go on and go on.
Sing your summer song.

Sometimes when the cold wind blows, I wonder where you've been.
I try to find you then but you won't let me in.
It's not like it used to be. I was young and free.
I've grown apart from you with responsibilities.
I'm not sorry you always get your way.
I'm only sorry that you won't stay.

Sing me songs of hope. Songs of sweet surrender and I'll be
yours again.
Tell me I'm not wrong. Make me think that time will go on so go on.
Sing your summer song. Sing your summer song. Sing your summer song.
Sing your summer song.
