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 cameUp 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 knowSummer'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 roomOff 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 goI 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 thatSummer'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 roomWhen 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 cameThe 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 roomAh yeah
