9 of 10 in the Jemverse ‘Summer 21’ series
When the morning air welcomes From a night time that’s done And the wind has died down Giving warmth to the sun And the sea’s a flat calm Now the new day’s begun The summer of me lives again
When the air is as crystal And there’s barely a sound With the dawn’s heavy dew Still fresh on the ground And the day lies there’s quietly As it wants to be found The summer of me lives again When the hills of fair Sussex Are yellow and green Painted there in bright colours At the best I have seen And the blue of the sky Is a deepening sheen The summer of me lives again When the ocean I love Mirrors skies overhead And the waves whisper back Every word that I’ve said And the shingle reminds me Of the life I have led The summer of me lives again When all of these things Come together to show What life is about For those in the know And envelop me in their Comforting glow The summer of me lives again
