Sally called when she got the word, And she said: "I suppose you've heard - About Alice". When I rushed to the window,And I looked outside, And I could hardly believe my eyes - As a big limousine rolled up Into Alice's drive...
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, To tell her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice... And Sally called back and asked how I felt, And she said: "I know how to help - Get over Alice". She said: "Now Alice is gone, But I'm still here, You know I've been waiting For twenty-four years..." And the big limousine disappeared...
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 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 unfamilliar line And then she gave to me more 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
