Summer Days

School bell's gone quiet Backpack on the hook Got a paper map And a half-read book Bare feet on the porch Sun on the screen door Mama says, Go on We ain't counting anymore Ice in a red cup Meltin' slow Road sign blinking Here we go Summer holidays Keep me out all day Summer holidays Take the work away Cold drink, warm sky You and I Summer holidays Don't let it fade Soda on my tongue Sand in my shoes Bike chain clinkin Down the avenue Laughin' at the dock Jumpin' off the edge Hold my towel high Like a flag on the ledge Ice in a red cup Meltin slow Road sign blinking Here we go Summer holidays Keep me out all day Summer holidays Take the work away Cold drink, warm sky You and I Summer holidays Don't let it fade Last light on the water Green caught in the trees Sunburn on my shoulders Salt still on my knees One more run, one more song One more night to stay Let the whole world wait While we waste the day Summer holidays Keep me out all day Summer holidays Take the work away Cold drink, warm sky You and I Summer holidays Don't let it fade
