Drowning Fish - Summer of 89 lyrics

School got out And summer arrived We kicked things off with a water fight There we were Just a moment in time Looking back It was the time of our lives It was a summer made of dreams And it had just begun Sunrise woke me with a beautiful song A brand new day in a beautiful world Ran through the backyard's cool morning shadows My friends next door would meet me by the wall Our lives as free as a fantasy Wide awake in a dream It was the summer of fun And you know that's what we had It was the summer to which I will always look back We were kids growing up Walking a straight path Having the times of our lives In the summer of '89 The doors to my dad's store closed for good Filled the fridge with candy Who drank all the Yoo-hoo Sang along to Pirate Radio Pretended I was a DJ as I taped the songs I still laugh thinking when my cousin said, "Women are all like snakes" We packed our bags and flew to Washington My cousin's wedding, family reunion Another plane, we're off to Montreal Road trip with Zou Zou to Niagara Falls Richard Marx woke us to, "Right Here Waiting For You" It was the summer of fun And you know that's what we had It was the summer to which I will always look back We were kids growing up Walking a straight path Having the times of our lives In the summer of '89 I remember the late night barbeques Spin the bottle in the family room Picking peaches from our yard of fruits You sang La Bamba and I yelled "Shut Up!" Tied a string to a beetle, watched it fly like a kite I liked to tape record everyday life It was the summer of fun And you know that's what we had It was the summer to which I will always look back We were kids growing up Walking a straight path Having the times of our lives In the summer of '89
