Summer Wine
Lana Del Rey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Lana Del Rey:]
Strawberrys cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things

[Barrie-James O'Neill:]
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 said let's pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh summer wine.

[Lana Del Rey:]
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
Ohh-oh summer wine

[Barrie-James O'Neill:]
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
Ohh-oh summer wine

[Lana Del Rey:]
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
Ohh-oh summer wine

[Barrie-James O'Neill:]
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 cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh-oh summer wine

[Both:]
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
Ohh-oh summer wine




Ohh-oh summer wine
Ohh-oh summer wine
