Summertime Dream
Gordon Lightfoot Where the road runs down but the butternut grove To old Bill Skinner's stream Do tell at the noonday bell In a lunch pail town in a one horse way It's time for a summertime dream You can live like a king and queen Let's steal away in the noonday sun Birds in all creation will be twitterin' in the trees And down below's a pond I know It's time for a summertime dream You can see what chivalry means You can swim in it if you please And if you come 'round when the mill shuts down It's time for a summertime dream On a trip on down to wonderland Let's steal away in the noonday sun Where time gets lost with no straw boss In love among the flowers To old Bill Skinner's stream Tallyin' up the hours Where the road runs down by the butternut grove It's time for a summertime dream Do tell at the noonday bell Birds in all creation will be twitterin' in the trees And down below's a pond I know You can see what chivalry means You can swim in it if you please And if you come 'round when the mill shuts down Let's steal away in the noonday sun It's time for a summertime dream |
