Lyrics
When I was younger than now I am, I liked swimming, so I swam,
Reflecting on the past when the speaker was younger and enjoyed swimming.
The town side of old Cinnamon Lane, tarmac broken from sun,
Describing the worn condition of Cinnamon Lane, affected by the sun.
Up the grass came, up willow I would climb to the top,
Recalling climbing willow trees and enjoying the view from the top.
Hang and watch the water drop, from my feet to the river below,
Watching water drop from the speaker's feet to the river below while hanging.
Young strength finally waned, then I followed, I love that glow and now I know:
Expressing a transition from youthful strength to following the "glow" of life experiences.
Summer's in bloom, Summer's in bloom,
Celebrating the arrival of summer and its positive energy.
Light her up, let her fill the room,
Encouraging the metaphorical lighting up of summer to fill the room with joy.
Speak no lie, Summer's in bloom,
Emphasizing honesty and authenticity during the vibrant summer season.
Summer's in bloom, light her up, let her fill the room.
Reiterating the idea of embracing and amplifying the positive aspects of summer.
Off to mugdley about the years end, I shout up: "let's have a swim!"
Proposing a spontaneous swim at the end of the year, expressing enthusiasm.
I expect all my friends to say "no", they agree so in we go!
Anticipating refusal from friends but happily finding agreement for the swim.
I got a stinging nettle rash for it, but I'm so very happy that I did,
Suffering a stinging nettle rash as a consequence but cherishing the experience.
I never ever ask why, I don't care why, I just know that:
Declaring a lack of interest in questioning why things happen, emphasizing acceptance.
Summer's in bloom, Summer's in bloom,
Reaffirming the arrival and positivity of summer.
Light her up, let her fill the room,
Encouraging the illumination of summer to bring joy to the surroundings.
Speak no lie, Summer's in bloom,
Promoting truthfulness and sincerity during the flourishing summer season.
Summer's in bloom, light her up, let her fill the room.
Repeating the call to embrace and amplify the positive energy of summer.
When I was younger than now I am, I liked swimming, so I swam,
Revisiting the speaker's fondness for swimming in the past.
The town side of old Cinnamon Lane, tarmac broken from sun, up the grass came.
Recalling the state of Cinnamon Lane and the natural elements that affected it.
The winter evening that I came home, found out that my girl had gone!
Discovering the absence of the speaker's girl upon returning home during a winter evening.
My father's eye told of a place that he'd been,
Learning about a place from the speaker's father, possibly related to the girl's departure.
Strong women play their own tune.
Acknowledging the strength and independence of women who create their own path.
Summer's in bloom, Summer's in bloom,
Celebrating the ongoing presence and vibrancy of summer.
Light her up, let her fill the room,
Urging the illumination of summer to bring its positive energy into the surroundings.
Speak no lie, Summer's in bloom,
Emphasizing the importance of honesty and authenticity during the flourishing summer season.
Summer's in bloom, light her up, let her fill the room.
Reiterating the call to light up and embrace the positive aspects of summer.
