Shawn Phillips - Summer Came lyrics

Phillips Summer came with all of its heat The kids were high and the cop on the beat People were sleepin' in the fire escapes I saw girls in shorts with all kinds of shapes The fire hydrants had all been turned on The kids and people were singin' a song They're singin', we're so glad that summer has come We waited for this moment, we waited so long We've waited so long The days have pa**ed and I've been there and gone The greenery faded and the land is forlorn The people wait, expectant faces They hope the chill will go other places But a even if it is hard it won't be so bad Some will be happy and some will be sad And some will go skating on the Central Park lake And some will go down, and some will get a break But then there's the people that don't give a damn Who forget all their troubles and love all they can Now, I'm one of those people I know Love every one, come sun or come snow Give everyone a flexible heart And it really won't matter if they're white or they're dark And that's the way that it ought to be Just room in this world for you and for me And a we'll live together yes we will love together And this is the day and that is the way And we'll live, we'll live together We'll love, we'll love together Yes, we'll live and love together Yes, we'll live, love together
