lyrics
Summer is a-comin’ in
And I feel it singing to me
Now the sun goes under hill
Come and dance with me
Gathered under wooden beams
Domesticated forest
Pluck away the black and grey
Let the yellow in
Summer is a-comin’ in
Summer is a-comin’ in
Summer is a-comin’ in
Oh, oo, yeah
Sing sing sing
Lyric voices echo now
Layer into memory
Were they once embodied here
Upon the green?
Wilderness years moving on
Leave the past behind you
And loudly sing this happy song
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Cuckoo, cuckoo,
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Summer is a-comin’ in
Summer is a-comin’ in
Summer is a-comin’ in
Oh, oo, yeah
Sing sing sing

Love the complexity of this track and the rising and falling of the violins, and the texture. Makes me want to dance.
Thank you so much for this album. I really love it, and find it really inspiring my own work on the Witchcraft Trials ❤️ tararosehip
