Summertime
(Leonard Cohen/Sharon Robinson)
Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Summertime I need a sunny day
I want those peaches on the table
I want the watermelon red
And the warm sun creeping through the window
To ease me out of bed
I want the sand out there to lie on
And the sea out there to swim
So my heart can take a holiday
From breakin' over him
Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Summertime I need a sunny day
And I want to drive forever
Wanna roll the windows down
Get the breeze back on my body
Get my feet back on the ground
I want the sand out there to lie on
And the sea out there to swim
So my heart can take a holiday
From breakin' over him
Summertime when will you come
I wanna put my light things on
I wanna put my winter life away
Summertime I need a sunny day
Old Cape Cod
Roll out the fabric(?) carpet
So I can walk
Hook up those microphones
So I can talk
Can be the mayor of the city
And clean up all of this mess
I'd never be assassinated
In my bullet proof vest
You can't keep a good girl down
No you can't keep a girl down
I've been lost and found
No, you can't keep a good girl down
You can't keep a good girl down
No you can't keep a girl down
I've been lost and Iv'e been found
You can't keep a good girl down
I'm taking the corners
Driving on two wheels
I'm climbing the cliff tops whil
