Gordon Lightfoot - Summertime Dream lyrics

Where the road runs down by the butternut grove

To old Bill Skinner's stream

Do tell at the noonday bell

It's time for a summertime dream

In a lunch pail town in a one horse way

You can live like a king and queen

Let's steal away in the noonday sun

It's time for a summertime dream

Birds in all creation will be twittering in the trees

And down below's a pond I know

You can swim in it if you please

And if you come 'round when the mill shuts down

You can see what chivalry means

Let's steal away in the noonday sun

It's time for a summertime dream

On a trip on down to wonderland, in love among the flowers

Where time gets lost with no straw boss, tallying up the hours

Where the road runs down by the butternut grove

To old Bill Skinner's stream

Do tell at the noonday bell

It's time for a summertime dream

Birds in all creation will be twittering in the trees

And down below's a pond I know, you can swim in it if you please

And if you come 'round when the mill shuts down

You can see what chivalry means

Let's steal away in the noonday sun

It's time for a summertime dream
