English summer eating up the atmosphere |
|
Day-time bathers sleep in the shade |
|
Clouds crawl over dampening our attitudes |
|
People run for shelter from the pouring rain |
|
Oh, this is the English summer |
|
Oh, this is our brightest day |
|
Oh, this is the English sun |
|
So close your eyes and try to wish the weather away |
|
Terraced houses filling up with dragonflies |
|
Wild-eyed lovers savour the day |
|
Local artists draw upon the paving stone |
|
Unill the rain, the thunder come and wash it away |
|
Oh, this is the English summer |
|
Oh, this is our brightest day |
|
Oh, this is the English sun |
|
So close your eyes and try to wish the weather away |
|
Planes fly over drawing lines across the sky |
|
Earth-bound traffic stuck in the rain |
|
Factory workers stand around like silhouettes |
|
And hope the English summer comes to brighten their day |
|
Oh, this is the English summer |
|
Oh, this is our brightest day |
|
Oh, this is the English sun |
|
So close your eyes and try to dream the weather away |
|
Dream, dream, dream the weather away |
|
So close your eyes and try to dream the weather away |
|
Dream, dream, dream the weather away |
