lyrics

Summer is a-comin’ in
And I feel it singing to me
Now the sun goes under hill
Come and dance with me

Gathered under wooden beams
Domesticated forest
Pluck away the black and grey
Let the yellow in

Summer is a-comin’ in
Summer is a-comin’ in
Summer is a-comin’ in
Oh, oo, yeah
Sing sing sing

Lyric voices echo now
Layer into memory
Were they once embodied here
Upon the green?

Wilderness years moving on
Leave the past behind you
And loudly sing this happy song
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo,
Cuckoo, cuckoo

Summer is a-comin’ in
Summer is a-comin’ in
Summer is a-comin’ in
Oh, oo, yeah
Sing sing sing
