Summer doesn't wait for anyone
Tired bodies slumber in the Sun
Glistening in a dewy bed of dawn
(Blossom come cover me, cover me)
Summer needs devotion everyone
Kneeling to the all beholding Sun
Adoration dripping from your tongue
(Summer come cover me, cover me)

Oh
Oh, but it comes and it goes and it leaves you to wait
Oh
Tired and hungover and singing its praise

Glorious the summer of bonfires and cherry wine
Glorious at midnight when our bodies intertwine
Glorious the song when you are the chorus line
Begging for summer eternal, until we die

Oh, find me in the tall grass after dark

Find me in the tall grass after dark
Scent of jasmin travels to the stars
Taking all my grief while rising up
(Summer come cover me, cover me)

Oh
Oh, but it comes and it goes and it leaves you to wait
Oh
Tired and hungover and singing its praise

Glorious the summer of bonfires and cherry wine
Glorious the song when you are the chorus line

Glorious the summer of bonfires and cherry wine
Glorious at midnight when our bodies intertwine
Glorious the song when you are the chorus line
Begging for summer eternal, until we die
