Summer Dream - Dave Monks

Down by the river

I had a dream

I had just married

A beauty queen

And all my friends were there

And all my family was there

And everyone I’d ever known was there

She stepped ashore

And introduced me

Her clothes were wet

And she seduced me

And all my friends were there

And all my family was there

And everyone I’d ever known was there

In my summer dream

It lasted for an age, a day

There in my summer dream

It lasted for an age, a day

We had nine children

And named them Taylor

I knew she loved me

Because I’d made her

And all my friends were there

And all my family was there

And everyone I’d ever known was there

And we got older

But never boring

Without umbrellas

When it was pouring

And all my friends were there

And all my family was there

And everyone I’d ever known was there

In my summer dream

It lasted for an age, a day

There in my summer dream

It lasted for an age, a day

A couple miles from here

Traffic’s rolling by

I get a message on my phone

But I don’t mind

Because when the grass is long

And all the cars have passed

I’ll still be laying here with you laying there

In my summer dream

It lasted for an age, a day

There in my summer dream

It lasted for an age, a day

I’m somewhere in between

I’m somewhere far away

Please just let me sleep

Please just let me stay

In my summer dream

It lasted for an age, a day

Oh, for a day
