Summer Wine

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 sing to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said let's pass some time
And I will give to you...summer wine
Oh..oh..oh...summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel kissing 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
Oh...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 the unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me...more summer wine
Woh..woh..oh...summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel kissing 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
Mm...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 craving for...more summer wine
Oh..oh..summer wine
Strawberries, cherries and an angel kissing spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off those silver spurs, help me pass the time
And I will give to you my summer wine
Oh...oh...summer wine
The lyrics to &'s song "Summer Wine" tell the story of a man who meets a woman while walking through town on his silver spurs. The woman invites him to pass some time with her and offers him "summer wine," which is described as being made from strawberries, cherries, and an angel kissing spring. As the night goes on, the man becomes increasingly intoxicated by the wine and eventually passes out. When he wakes up the next morning, he realizes that the woman has taken his spurs and some of his money, but he is still left craving more of the intoxicating summer wine.
The lyrics are rich with symbolism and metaphor. The "summer wine" can be interpreted as a metaphor for the pleasures of life, particularly those that are fleeting and intoxicating. The imagery of strawberries and cherries evokes a sensual, almost erotic quality that underscores the intoxicating nature of the wine. The angel kissing spring represents a kind of divine or spiritual quality that adds to the sense of transcendence that the wine provides.
Overall, the song can be read as a cautionary tale about the dangers of indulging in life's pleasures to the point of excess. The man in the song is seduced by the woman and the wine, and in the end, he is left alone and craving more. The combination of rich, evocative imagery and a haunting melody makes "Summer Wine" a timeless classic.
