Summers of Gold
Summers of Gold: Nostalgic Waves of Youthful Dreams
Lyrics
We'd lean our bikes and pass the dunes and cypress trees
We would park our bikes and walk through the sand dunes and cypress trees.
To a crystal cove of childhood soul and treasured memories
Arriving at a clear cove that holds memories and nostalgia from our childhood.
Tommy and I, basking on our boards
Tommy and I, enjoying the sun on our surfboards.
Waiting on the wave
Awaiting the arrival of the wave for surfing.
We were the kings of the stage
We were the main attractions, young, strong, and fearless.
Young, strong and brave
Confidently riding the wave, masters of the stage.
Gliding on the palm of Gods hand
Feeling a sense of divine guidance and protection.
To castles in the sand
Heading towards castles made in the sand.
Take me to the summers of gold
Expressing a desire to revisit the cherished summers of the past.
Let me feel those dreams run free
Yearning to relive the carefree dreams of those golden summers.
Neath the sun and rolling sea
Under the sun and by the rolling sea.
The magic takes hold
Describing the enchanting power of those memories.
In an endless summer of gold
Nostalgic reflection on an everlasting summer of gold.
Barefoot in the pines with our arrows and bows
Recalling playful moments in the pine forest with bows and arrows.
Talking 'bout this moonlit bar, where the coolest kids would go
Discussing a popular bar among the coolest kids.
Snuck out at night and wandered through the cricket cry
Sneaking out at night, navigating through the sounds of crickets.
We dualled over Lisa, she chose that dude with the 1 2 5
Remembering a romantic rivalry over Lisa.
Tommy and I, didn't talk for days
Tension with Tommy after the romantic competition.
Until we heard the waves
Reconciliation upon hearing the waves again.
Take me to the summers of gold
Reiterating the desire to revisit those golden summers.
Diamond dice and figurines
Evoking images of games with dice and figurines.
In a world of make believe
In a world of imagination and make-believe.
You'll never grow old
Emphasizing the timeless nature of those memories.
In an endless summer of gold
Reaffirming the longing for an endless summer of gold.
Remember when that bush fire
Recollection of a bush fire threatening the turtle groves.
Tore through the turtle groves
Involvement in efforts to save homes during the fire.
Us and the guys in sweat and ash
Shared experiences with friends in the face of danger.
We saved the homes
Successfully protecting homes but acknowledging the inevitability of danger.
We spend our days cheating death
Living on the edge, defying mortality in daily activities.
Though in time he hunts you down
A philosophical reflection on the eventual encounter with death.
They said you crashed and you died quick
Learning about Tommy's quick and tragic demise.
Well Tommy my tears they stuck around
Expressing enduring grief over Tommy's death.
Twenty years and now a day in my beat up car
Transitioning to the present, driving with the narrator's son.
My sons in the backseat, he's wondering where the hell we are
The son curious about the destination as they approach the cove.
We reached the cove by sunset, seemed like nothing changed
Arriving at the cove and noting its unchanged beauty.
cs my boy and I, we paddled through that glistening plain
Paddling through the water with the narrator's son.
Was it in the breeze, the breaks, the scent, was it everywhere
Reflecting on the presence of Tommy in the surroundings.
Man I felt you there
Sensing Tommy's spirit in the breeze, breaks, and scent of the place.
Take me to the summers of gold
Repeating the desire to revisit the golden summers.
Let me feel those dreams run free
Rekindling the yearning for carefree dreams.
Neath the sun and rolling sea
Under the sun and by the rolling sea once again.
The magic takes hold
Reaffirming the magical hold of those memories.
In an endless summer of gold
Longing for an eternal summer of gold.
Oh brother, bless your soul
Addressing Tommy as a brother and blessing his soul.
In an endless summer of gold
Concluding with the wish for an everlasting summer of gold.
