Summer Wine
F.M. Einheit & His Orchestra With Gry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walked into town on silver spurs that jingle too
A song that I had only sung for just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, summer wine

(Gry)
Strawberry, cherries, and an angle kissin spring

My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I shall give to you summer wine
Oh, summer win

Alexander Hacke
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they would not speak
I tried to get up but I could find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And when she gave to me more summer wine
Oh, summer wine

(Gry)
Strawberry, cherries, and an angle kissin spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I shall give to you summer wine
Oh, summer wine

Alexander Hacke
When I woke up the sun was shinning in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice it size
She took my silver spurs-the dollar and the dime
And left me cravein for summer wine
Oh, summer wine

(Gry)
Strawberry, cherries, and an angle kissin spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time

And I shall give to you summer wine
Oh, summer wine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Summer Wine by F.M. Einheit & His Orchestra With Gry tell a story of a man who walks into town with silver spurs that jingle. The woman he meets notices his spurs and suggests they spend some time together, offering him summer wine made from strawberries, cherries, and an angel's kiss in spring. As they enjoy their time together, the man becomes woozy and falls asleep, only to wake up without his silver spurs and craving more summer wine.

The song's lyrics are symbolic and use the theme of summer wine as a metaphor for the fleeting nature of desire and the intoxicating effects of love. The silver spurs represent the allure of material possessions and the woman's offer of summer wine is a temptation that the man cannot resist. However, like the season of summer, the passion and desire are fleeting, leaving the man feeling empty and alone when he wakes up without his silver spurs.

Overall, the lyrics of Summer Wine are a poignant reflection on the transience of love and desire, and the allure of material possessions that can leave us feeling empty.
