Summer Heat
Bert Jansch
In the still breathless summer heat
Ain't nothing movin' on the street
No cars, no traffic
There're stuck on hold, ain't life sweet
In the hot summer heat
Must be a dream in this crazy world
It's so hot like a sweet mirage
No pain, no heartache
No trouble to unfold, ain't life sweet
In the hot summer heat
Time is standing still, he hangs in the air
His hands ain't movin' but he still doesn't care
For he ain't goin' nowhere
Tic-tocking in the heat of the day
He never stops and nothin' gets in his way
But he's got nothin' to say
In the hot summer heat
Just lying and lazin' in the sun
For tomorrow may never ever come
I dream of water splashing all over me
In the hot summer heat
