The Summer Lady

Julian Littman

[Verse 1]
We've suffered enough, at the hands of the Wintersmith
All had our fill of the frost on the ground
Let's drink to the health of the fair Summer Lady
And wish her the best as she draws the sun down

[Verse 2]
Go back to your mountains, you cold-hearted lover;
Your magic is broken, your mischief is done!
The time is at hand for the fair Summer Lady
To take up her place and to draw the sun down

[Refrain]
Let the seasons turn
Let the rivers start a flowin'
Let the hot sun burn
And melt our frozen hearts

[Verse 3]
Too long have we lived in the clutches of Winter
Too long have we lived in the grip of the cold
One wave of her hand and the fair Summer Lady
Will turn the white field into yellow and gold

[Verse 4]
To breeze through the corn on the first day in Springtime
To lie under skies of magnificent blue
Just look in the eyes of the fair Summer Lady
She'll harvest our dreams and she'll make them come true

[refrain 2]
Let the seasons turn
Let the rivers start a flowin'
Let the hot sun burn
And melt our frozen hearts
Let the warm winds blow
Send the North Wind on his journey
Sweep away the snow
The Summer Lady's here

[Bridge]
She'll smile on the hillside
She'll dance on the lake
She'll shimmer with brightness
When she is awake
She can turn the sun blood-red
In a hot burning sky
But when Summer is over
The Lady must die

[Verse 5]
So drink, to the health of the fair Summer Lady
Bathe in her glory and be of good cheer
As sure, as the summer is followed by winter
We'll call on the Lady of Summer each year

[refrain 3 and outro]
Let the seasons turn
Let the rivers start a flowin'
Let the hot sun burn
And melt our frozen hearts
Let the warm winds blow
Send the North Wind on his journey
Sweep away the snow
The Summer Lady's here!
The Summer Lady's here!
The Summer Lady's here!
The Summer Lady's here!
