In The Summertime |
| [00:02.04] |
|
| [00:15.85] |
I was in your presence for an hour or so |
| [00:19.80] |
Or was it a day? i truly don't know. |
| [00:24.21] |
Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low |
| [00:27.38] |
By that soft and shining sea. |
| [00:30.85] |
Did you respect me for what i did |
| [00:35.54] |
Or for what i didn't do, or for keeping it hid? |
| [00:39.52] |
Did i lose my mind when i tried to get rid |
| [00:43.44] |
Of everything you see? |
| [00:44.80] |
|
| [00:46.74] |
In the summertime, ah in the summertime, |
| [00:54.09] |
In the summertime when you were with me. |
| [01:05.61] |
|
| [01:19.06] |
I got the heart and you got the blood, |
| [01:21.85] |
We cut through iron and we cut through mud. |
| [01:25.42] |
Then came the warnin' that was before the flood |
| [01:29.57] |
That set everybody free. |
| [01:34.44] |
Fools they made a mock of sin, |
| [01:39.30] |
Our loyalty they tried to win |
| [01:45.21] |
But you were closer to me than my next of kin |
| [01:45.87] |
When they didn't want to know or see. |
| [01:48.15] |
|
| [01:49.26] |
In the summertime, ah in the summertime, |
| [01:55.63] |
In the summertime when you were with me. |
| [02:01.63] |
|
| [02:21.14] |
Strangers, they meddled in our affairs, |
| [02:34.87] |
Poverty and shame was theirs. |
| [02:36.76] |
But all that sufferin' was not to be compared |
| [02:37.23] |
With the glory that is to be. |
| [02:37.71] |
And i'm still carrying the gift you gave, |
| [02:39.07] |
It's a part of me now, it's been cherished and saved, |
| [02:42.23] |
It'll be with me unto the grave |
| [02:47.24] |
And then unto eternity. |
| [02:48.49] |
|
| [02:49.72] |
In the summertime, ah in the summertime, |
| [02:59.77] |
In the summertime when you were with me. |
