Dar Williams - Summerday lyrics

From the ship, we could see it in the distance As the fog was finally lifting We had come to the shores of Summerday Gently landing, we jumped out on the snad and found our way Where the dirt was soft and black We started digging a garden And soon we found the woods that we'd call The forest of Arden for to play When we came to Summerday On the shores of Summerday We will live in Summerday And we climbed a stony mountain We were boisterous then quiet As we thought about what instruments to make Soon we started to build the uillean pipes and fine guitars Then we scouted out the hollows for solitude and silence And we found the places we could meet by the blue and gla**y river Under stars where the paper lanterns sway In the streets of Summerday Trust the night and trust the day Sun and moon of Summerday We are pilgrims in the land between religions We are following our children And we paint in different colors every day And if we're true to our hearts they will grow up and want to stay We will work beside them as they build modest houses And on a misty April morning we'll rest the shovels on the fence And die and become a summer day Oh, the fields of Summerday And the flowers of Summerday They will live in Summerday To the shores of Summerday So we sail to Summerday We will live in Summerday
