Summer Days

by John Robert Hunter

about

Spending much of my early childhood in New Zealand made a big impression on me. The weather was good and the winter’s warmer. Out the back of where we lived in Auckland there was a little bamboo forest in which me and my friends used to play in. It was idyllic and to this day I miss it so much.

When my father decided that he needed to be back in England we went to a very different climate, but I used to go on walks from Hartlepool up to Dalton Piercy through the open fields and long grass and in that grass my brother and I would hide it the grass playing hide and seek. I miss those times too. Summer is my favourite time of the year, especially when I was a child with six weeks of school holidays. What is not to like?

lyrics

Verse 1
The sunlight dances, its everywhere.
The heat is burning but I don’t care.
Winter was far too long and now the summer’s here.
I love these summer days

Verse 2
The cool long grass is like a jungle here,
laying low we hide remembering
those childhood days when our dreams could be
in those sunny fields.

Chorus
I see no clouds. It’s a clear blue day.
I love those summer days.

Verse 3
Down by the river I watch dragonflies
skimming by me, they just pass me by
The cool water tempts me to its side
I love these times

Chorus
I see no clouds. It’s a clear blue day.
I love these summer days.

Verse 4
I see children playing not far from me
I remember all the games, my fantasies
Although they’re past they’re still a part of me
my summer days

Chorus
I see no clouds. It’s a clear blue day.
I love these summer days.

I am an English singer songwriter based in Salisbury. My music doesn’t fit comfortably in any one genre. Songs like “When Death Divides” has a bit of a Pink Floyd feel to it. Where as songs like “We’ll Leave This Town” is a bit Springsteenish. I love songs that comment on life, that are from the heart, that tell a story. ... more
