| 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 |
