Ralph McTell — Summer Came Along

Summer come, I finally made it I never thought I'd get to see the winter through I watched the birds race their shadows 'cross the cornfield Well, you can't catch them, but I can catch you And I've been waiting for the summer, it's true But I've been waiting just as long for you Summer come around Summer come around Summer come around Summer come around Summer come along Look at the fields do you see them growing? Feel the grass breathe under your feet I'll give you a gold watch to put in the pocket Of any scarecrow that you meet And I've been waiting for the summer, it's true But I've been waiting just as long for you Summer come around Summer come around Summer come around Summer come around Summer come along Make up your mind, I gotta be going Time and tide wait for no one, it's true And summer this year was such a long time coming Don't make me wait for you And I've been waiting for the summer, it's true But I've been waiting just as long for you Summer come around Summer come around Summer come around Summer come around Summer come along Summer come around Summer come around Summer come around Summer come around Summer come along Summer come around Summer come around Summer come around Summer come around Summer come along
