Mercury is rising still
Turn the fan on high
I won't step on my own shadow
No one wants to cry
Someone put a pox on me
I'll spit in their eye
Summer turns to high
With my bedsheet cape and sandals
Circle citronella candles
Summer's here, the light is raising
Hopes and dragonflies.
If those hopes are overshadowed
Cotton candy, caramel apple
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high,
Summer high
After wine and nectarines
The fireflies and time
Move like syrup through the evening
With a sweet resign
I won't pine for what I could have been-
I'm preoccupied!
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high
Summer turns to high,
Summer high.
