Summer Came Along
Summer come, I finally made it
I never thought I'd get to see the winter through
I watched the birds race their shadows 'cross the cornfield
Well, you can't catch them, but I can catch you
And I've been waiting for the summer, it's true
But I've been waiting just as long for you
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come along
Look at the fields do you see them growing?
Feel the grass breathe under your feet
I'll give you a gold watch to put in the pocket
Of any scarecrow that you meet
And I've been waiting for the summer, it's true
But I've been waiting just as long for you
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come along
Make up your mind, I gotta be going
Time and tide wait for no one, it's true
And summer this year was such a long time coming
Don't make me wait for you
And I've been waiting for the summer, it's true
But I've been waiting just as long for you
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come along
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come along
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come around
Summer come along
