Promise of Summer (Live)

She's the sweetest melody
She was a private school girl
Disapproving family
He never understood just what she saw in him
Working days at the marina
The nights were left to dream
The winter fields begin to recover
And finally it's the promise of summer
Lights are shining round
And the guards are coming down
All around
Love at first sight
They were young and they were free
It started at a bonfire
With friends down at the beach
Her skin shown so brown
In that summer firelight
Spent the whole evening
Laughing as the morning she'd the night
The winter fields begin to recover
And finally it's the promise of summer
Lights are shining round
And the guards are coming down
Across the world they run to each other
Finally it's the promise of summer
Rain after the drought
And they won't have to go without
No, no, no
It's the promise of summer
Not a day goes by when
He doesn't think of her
Seems like he spends his life
Trying to make things the way they were
I guess a trip down south might be the only cure
Across the Carolina border
And go look around for her
The winter fields begin to recover
And finally it's the promise of summer
Lights are shining round
And the guards are coming down
Across the world they run to each other
Finally it's the promise of summer
The promise of summer
The promise of summer
The winter fields begin to recover
And finally it's the promise of summer
The promise of summer
Across the world they run to each other
And finally it's the promise of summer
The promise of summer
