Barrie James O'Neill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, 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
Mm, 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
Mm, 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
Mm, Summer wine
When I woke up
The sun was shining in my eyes (in my eyes)
My silver spurs were gone
My head felt twice it's size
(in my eyes, uh)
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
(Uh, Uh)
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Oh, uh, 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
Mm, Summer wine mm, Summer wine
Mm, Summer wine
Ta ta da, ta da ta ta tu tu tu du, tu da
Tu tu tu da, tu da ah, ah
"Summer Wine" by Barrie James O'Neill is a song that paints a vivid and sensual picture of a romantic encounter. The lyrics describe the pleasure and intoxication derived from the simple joys of life, represented by strawberries, cherries, and an angel's kiss. The reference to spring and summer conveys a sense of warmth and happiness. The singer reminisces about a time when he walked through town wearing silver spurs, a symbol of his free-spirited nature. He sings a song that is personal to him, until he catches the attention of a woman who is intrigued by his unique style. They decide to spend time together, and she promises to give him the experience of "summer wine."
As the encounter progresses, the singer becomes overwhelmed by the effects of the wine and feels physically impaired. He attempts to regain control but finds himself powerless, comforted by the woman's words. She then offers him even more "summer wine," deepening their connection and the allure of the experience.
In the end, the singer wakes up to find his silver spurs gone and his head throbbing. The woman has taken his possessions and left him craving for more of the intoxicating "summer wine." The song ends with a slightly playful, nonsensical outro, leaving the listener with a lingering sense of intrigue and mystery surrounding this passionate encounter.
Line by Line Meaning
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's
Symbolic representation of the beautiful and enticing elements of life
Kiss in spring my summer wine is really made
The pure and genuine experiences that shape the essence of my life
From all these things
Derived from the combination of all these enchanting moments
I walked in town on silver
I confidently strolled through the city, adorned with
Spurs that jingled to
Heels that made a cheerful sound as they struck the ground
A song that I had only sang to just a few
A melodious tune that I only shared with a select few
She saw my silver spurs and
She noticed my silver spurs and
Said lets pass some time
Suggested that we spend some quality time together
And I will give to you summer wine
And in return, I will offer you the pure essence of life's beautiful experiences
Oh, Summer wine
The intoxicating pleasure and joy of life's adventures
Take off your silver spurs and
Remove your symbolic armor and
Help me pass the time
Join me in making the most of our days
And I will give to you summer wine
And I will share with you the essence of life's beautiful experiences
Mm, Summer wine
Mm, the exquisite pleasure and contentment of life's adventures
My eyes grew heavy and my lips
I started feeling tired and unable to speak
They could not speak
They lost the ability to utter words
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
I attempted to stand, but I felt disoriented and unstable
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
She comforted me with words I hadn't heard before
And then she gave to me more summer wine
And then she provided me with further experiences of life's pure essence
When I woke up
Upon awakening from my slumber
The sun was shining in my eyes (in my eyes)
The bright sunlight directly affected my vision
My silver spurs were gone
The symbolic armor that once defined me disappeared
My head felt twice its size
I experienced a considerable headache
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
She not only removed my armor but also took my possessions
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
And left me yearning for additional experiences of life's pure essence
Ta ta da, ta da ta ta tu tu tu du, tu da
Informal expressions of melodies, perhaps signifying the joyous memories
Tu tu tu da, tu da ah, ah
Continuation of the expressive musical interlude
