Down by the river I had a dream I had just married A beauty queen And all my friends were there And all my family was there And everyone I'd ever known was there She stepped ashore And introduced me Her clothes were wet And she seduced me And all my friends were there And all my family was there And everyone I'd ever known was there In my summer dream It lasted for an age, a day There in my summer dream It lasted for an age, a day We had nine children And named them Taylor I knew she loved me Because I'd made her And all my friends were there And all my family was there And everyone I'd ever known was there And we got older But never boring Without umbrellas When it was pouring And all my friends were there And all my family was there And everyone I'd ever known was there In my summer dream It lasted for an age, a day There in my summer dream It lasted for an age, a day A couple miles from here Traffic's rolling by I get a message on my phone But I don't mind Because when the grass is long And all the cars have passed I'll still be laying here with you laying there In my summer dream It lasted for an age, a day There in my summer dream It lasted for an age, a day I'm somewhere in between I'm somewhere far away Please just let me sleep Please just let me stay In my summer dream It lasted for an age, a day Oh, for a day
