Michael Franks - Now That The Summer's Here Lyrics






In slow-motion I'm reborn
I need a week to mow the lawn
I eat dinner with my flip-flops on
Now that the summer's here

With my chores I only flirt
Hung in my hammock reading Kurt
Struggling to remain inert
Now that the summer's here

Now that the summer is here
I laze all day, my work can wait
At night behave like a firefly
And oscillate with my mate

Now that the summer is here
I laze all day, my work can wait
At night behave like a firefly
And oscillate with my mate

I can spare some wherewithal
Listening to Ahmad Jamal
"Poinciana" says it all
Now that the summer's here

One thing is crystal clear:
I won't be going anywhere
Except my Adirondack chair
Now that the summer's here
...

    Thanks Bill and thanks Michael for another great song. Coming from Detroit, your music was always played on our beloved, but now gone WJZZ station. Growing up in the 70's and 80s, my mother and aunts always played your albums. As an adult now myself, I am still a fan, and have seen you in concert many times. I introduced my husband to your music and also my son. He's only 4 and his favorite song is "When Sly Calls." I catch him singing it sometimes. He's a 3rd Generation Michael Franks fan! :)
