[00:01.06]In The Summertime
[00:02.04]
[00:15.85]I was in your presence for an hour or so
[00:19.80]Or was it a day? i truly don't know.
[00:24.21]Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
[00:27.38]By that soft and shining sea.
[00:30.85]Did you respect me for what i did
[00:35.54]Or for what i didn't do, or for keeping it hid?
[00:39.52]Did i lose my mind when i tried to get rid
[00:43.44]Of everything you see?
[00:44.80]
[00:46.74]In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
[00:54.09]In the summertime when you were with me.
[01:05.61]
[01:19.06]I got the heart and you got the blood,
[01:21.85]We cut through iron and we cut through mud.
[01:25.42]Then came the warnin' that was before the flood
[01:29.57]That set everybody free.
[01:34.44]Fools they made a mock of sin,
[01:39.30]Our loyalty they tried to win
[01:45.21]But you were closer to me than my next of kin
[01:45.87]When they didn't want to know or see.
[01:48.15]
[01:49.26]In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
[01:55.63]In the summertime when you were with me.
[02:01.63]
[02:21.14]Strangers, they meddled in our affairs,
[02:34.87]Poverty and shame was theirs.
[02:36.76]But all that sufferin' was not to be compared
[02:37.23]With the glory that is to be.
[02:37.71]And i'm still carrying the gift you gave,
[02:39.07]It's a part of me now, it's been cherished and saved,
[02:42.23]It'll be with me unto the grave
[02:47.24]And then unto eternity.
[02:48.49]
[02:49.72]In the summertime, ah in the summertime,
[02:59.77]In the summertime when you were with me.
