Deep Summer - John Brown's Body

Deep summer got me in undertow

Got me to feel sentimental

Leads me to where I don’t dare go

I won’t fear supernatural

Tonight we might not ever get home

Lost in it as we’re falling in love

We can dance together but it better be slow

Days fly dreaming of skies

Changing from sunshine to rain

Deep summer got me into my head

Taste the flowers she said

Got me feeling so red

Sweet summer got me deep in it

Don’t you hear me too late

It make your body whole

Tired won’t you sip a cup

Be you saint or criminal

The same way we fill it up

We don’t know

Who can hold the secrets and delights we keep prisoner

But we reason it in deeper summertime

All you days are seasonal

People laughing with the sound

Even when cold wind a blow

It’s deeper in the ground

Ready to return and grow

Gravity is eternal power and love

I want to know is it buried?

It got so rare

But I’m already there

Deep summer stay with what I once know

Remember me in that first glow

Spirits left drowning in the well

I won’t keep it to myself

We cry like we can never let go

But you couldn’t be mine alone

It can’t last forever let your better light show

Days fly dreaming of skies

Changing from sunshine to rain
