Summerday Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: D Am Em G D
From the ship, we could see it in the distance
As the fog was finally lifting
We had come to the shores of Summerday
Gently landing, we jumped out on the sand and found our way
Where the dirt was soft and black, we started digging a garden and
Soon we found the woods that we'd call The Forest of Arden for to Play
When we came to Summerday
On the shores of Summerday
We will live in Summerday
And we climbed a stony mountain
We were boisterous then quiet
As we thought about what instruments to make
Soon we started to build the uilleann pipes and fine guitars
Then we scouted out the hollows for solitude and silence and
We found the places we could meet, by the blue and glassy river
Under stars where the paper lanterns sway
In the streets of Summerday
Trust the night and trust the day
Sun and moon of Summerday
INTERLUDE: Am Em G D
We are pilgrims in the land between religions
We are following our children
And we paint in different colours every day
And if we're true to our hearts they will grow up and want to stay
We will work beside them as they build modest houses and
On a misty April morning we'll rest the shovels on the fence
And die and become a summer day
Oh, the fields of Summerday
And the flowers of Summerday
They will live in Summerday
To the shores of Summerday
So we sail to Summerday
We will live in Summerday
