When I was younger than now I am
I liked swimming so I swam
The townside of old Cinnamon lane
Tarmac broken from sun
Up the grass came
Up willow I would climb to the top
Hang and watch the water drop
From my feet to the river below
Young strength finally waned
Then I followed
I love that glow and now I know
Summers in bloom
Summers in bloom
Light her up
Let her fill the room
Speak no lie
Summers in bloom
Summers in bloom
Light her up
Let her fill the room
Off to Mugdley about the years end
I shout up "Let's have a swim"
I expect all my friends to say no
They agree so in we go
I got a stinging nettle rash for it
But I'm so very happy that I did
I never ask why
I dont care why
I just know that
Summers in bloom
Summers in bloom
Light her up
Let her fill the room
Speak no lie
Summers in bloom
Summers in bloom
Light her up
Let her fill the room
When I was younger than now I am
I liked swimming so I swam
The townside of old Cinnamon lane
Tarmac broken from sun
Up the grass came
The winter evening that I came home
Found out that my girl had gone
My fathers eye told of a place that he'd been
Strong women play their own tune
When I was younger than now I am
I liked swimming so I swam
The townside of old Cinnamon lane
Tarmac broken from sun
Up the grass came
