SUMMER
Kelly Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gliding birds wings, watch them fly
Diving down and climbing high
Shooting stars fly through my sky
Ripe, black cherries taste like wine

And then I feel like lying down so still
Making shapes from clouds in the sky with you
Water drops from honey dew
Decreasing circles from stones I threw
And greasy skin shines in the sun
Today's the day and you're the one

And then I feel like lying down so still
Making shapes from clouds in the sky with you

And when the sun has gone away
And I feel I wanna stay
I taste a raindrop in my mouth
I pick you up and the sky comes down





And still I feel like lying down so still
Making shapes from clouds in the sky with you

He sings with true sadness that is softened by venting with his song.

Mikaela Constandache

@E6L9U8 "under-rated" seems to be the most commonly used word with regards to Kelly or the Phonics. Says something when you think They've had number one singles, and 6 consecutive number one albums, selling millions of records and playing stadiums. Don't ya think?
