Rain and Summer Wine

Feb 2, 2014

BCOF Free Day

Today has been a dreary day..... Rain and dark cloudy skies all day long. The only thing positive I can say is that I've been reading a good book all day long, and it's called The Association by Bentley Little. I'm almost finished with it and only have a little under 100 pages to go.

The only other good news that I have is that I edited three chapters of my novel yesterday. Now, I'm working on editing chapter 18.

The Songtrack of Your Life

This a song that I heard for the first time when I was nine. I remember my Dad getting out one of his old LPs of a singer named Nancy Sinatra (her big hit was Those Boot Are Made For Walking). The first song he played was Summer Wine. I didn't really understand what the song was about at nine, but I thought it had a very unique tune and the words were catchy. To me, I was just singing along with Dad.

Many years later the song took on a much deeper meaning. It was in May 2000 and I was driving down an old dirt road with my soulmate. I started singing the song to him. I think he like hearing me sing it. After that, I started referring to it as our song.

Summer Wine

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh, summer wine

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh, summer wine

My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohh, summer wine

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm, summer wine

When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh, summer wine

Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you my summer wine


Bye for Now!
