When I was waiting for summer

Dreaming of all the lovers I know won't take

I'll fixate on some other

I'll move on to parties and pools and petals enchanting me with all their colours

Being kissed by the sun as I lie in a careless and lazy afternoon slumber

When I was waiting for summer

With days to waste on drinking

And effortless wistful thinking

Of what it'd feel like to be soaring

And what it'd be like to be sinking

Waiting for summer

Waiting for summer

When I was waiting for summer

The peace of a time that was made to make life live life and to recover

From winters so cold that the flowers retreat and we wrap ourselves up in jumpers

A time to taste all the flavours to try what the world offers us to discover

When I was waiting for summer

With days to waste on drinking

And effortless wistful thinking

Of what it'd feel like to be soaring

And what it'd be like to be

Summer

Waiting for summer

The seasons came when Eve took the bait

And the apple fell from the tree

The clouds covered sky, thunder roared through the night

And winter was ours to see

But God left us with a taste of the old

A past that we'd long to keep

The time of the sun, blink twice and it's gone, an eternal fantasy
