Summer To Me

from True Compass by Tret Fure

/

lyrics

We caught lightning bugs
Put ‘em in a jar
Poked a few holes in the lid
Took ‘em to the yard
Watched them through the glass
The way they’d glow
That was summer to me
Under the big elm trees
That was summer to me

Standing in the moonlight
Feeling the breeze
Playing kick the can
Out in the streets
We rode our bikes hard
‘Til we had to come in
That was summer to me
Under the big elm trees
That was summer to me

We slept with all the windows wide
Trying to stay cool
The nights were hot and sticky
And the days spent at the pool
And I could hear my mom and dad
With the TV turned way down
But the feel of the sheets
And the sweat on my brow
Are all that I am left with right now

We listened to the cubbies
On the radio waves
Trying to hit a home run
Playing against the Braves
When they were in Milwaukee
And that was long ago
But that was summer to me
Under the big elm trees
That was summer to me
