Ralph McTell - Summer Came Along lyrics

Summer come, I finally made it
I never thought I'd get to
See the winter through
I watched the birds race their shadows
'cross the cornfield
Well, you can't catch them
But I can catch you

And I've been waiting for the summer
It's true
But I've been waiting just as long for you
Summer come around summer come around
Summer come around summer come around
Summer come along

Look at the fields do you see them growing?
Feel the grass breathe under your feet
I'll give you a gold watch
To put in the pocket
Of any scarecrow that you meet

And I've been waiting for the summer
It's true
But I've been waiting just as long for you
Summer come around summer come around
Summer come around summer come around
Summer come along

Make up your mind, I gotta be going
Time and tide wait for no one, it's true
And summer this year was such
A long time coming
Don't make me wait for you

And I've been waiting for the summer
It's true
But I've been waiting just as long for you
Summer come around summer come around
Summer come around summer come around
Summer come along

Summer come around summer come around
Summer come around summer come around
Summer come along

Summer come around summer come around
Summer come around summer come around
Summer come along
