When I was younger than now I am I liked swimming, so I swam The town side of old Cinnamon Lane Tarmac broken from sun, up the grass came Up willow I would climb to the top Hang and watch the water drop From my feet to the river below Young strength finally waned, then I followed I love that glow and now I know Summer's in bloom, summer's in bloom Light her up, let her fill the room, speak no lie Summer's in bloom, summer's in bloom Light her up, let her fill the room Off to mugdley about the years end I shout up, Let's have a swim! I expect all my friends to say, No They agree so in we go I got a stinging nettle rash for it But I'm so very happy that I did, I never ever ask why, I don't care why I just know that Summer's in bloom, summer's in bloom Light her up, let her fill the room, speak no lie Summer's in bloom, summer's in bloom Light her up, let her fill the room When I was younger than now I am I liked swimming, so I swam The townside of old Cinnamon Lane Tarmac broken from sun, up the grass came The winter evening that I came home Found out that my girl had gone My father's eye told of a place that he'd been Strong women play their own tune. Summer's in bloom, summer's in bloom Light her up, let her fill the room, speak no lie Summer's in bloom, summer's in bloom Light her up, let her fill the room Ah yeah
