Summer’s In Lyrics by Anne Briggs

Sing a Song for You

1996

Cuckoo's call the evening to still
The sky went down and the nightbird's wing
Falls over, the last day of Spring

For summer is in
Everyone sing
Ah, ah, ah
Let us begin!

The other day, it being warm
We walked beside the fresh green corn
Gathered flowers in a garland to deck the day

For summer is in
Everyone sing
Ah, ah, ah
Let us begin!

Friends and neighbours gather near
Come drink with us a brew of beer?
And share in our fortune that the sun does bring

For summer is in
Everyone sing
Ah, ah, ah
Let us begin!

The king and the queen one morning in May
Played chess in the valley to see who could stay
The stream in its travels laughing away

For summer is in
Everyone sing
Ah, ah, ah
Let us begin!

We've sung in the markets, the pubs and the fair
We made no money, but what do we care?
We'll sleep in a haystack and be on our way

For summer is in
Everyone sing
Ah, ah, ah
Let us begin!

We've gathered our feast along the seashore
Cockles and mussels, enough for us all
We'll eat in the sand dunes and then go back for more

For summer is in
Everyone sing
Ah, ah, ah
Let us begin!

Scattered around us, where we lay
Are the bones of million years away
Bleached by the sunshine in the past few day

For summer is in
Everyone sing
Ah, ah, ah
Let us begin!

Think of the ages blown in the sand
Think where an ancient people did stand
And think of your fortune to be child of this land

For summer is in
Everyone sing
Ah, ah, ah
Let us begin!
