Summer Wine
Lana Del Rey & Barrie 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
The song "Summer Wine" by Lana Del Rey featuring Barrie James O'Neill is a classic love song with a dark twist. The lyrics describe a romantic encounter between the singer and a woman who offers him "summer wine" that is made from strawberries, cherries, and an angel's kiss in spring. The singer meets the woman in town wearing silver spurs, which she is drawn to. They spend time together drinking the summer wine, but as he becomes more intoxicated, he falls under her spell. He wakes up the next morning, and the woman has left with his silver spurs, a dollar, and a dime, leaving him craving for more summer wine.
The lyrics are metaphorical and symbolic, with the summer wine representing the pleasures and temptations of life. The woman who offers it to the singer is like the embodiment of those temptations, luring him in and keeping him under her spell until she takes what she wants and leaves. The silver spurs are a symbol of the singer's freedom and independence, which are lost when he falls under the woman's power. The lyrics have a haunting quality that speaks to the dangers of giving in to desire, and the consequences that come with it.
Overall, "Summer Wine" is a beautiful and melancholic song that captures the intensity and complexity of human emotion. It tells a story of love and loss, desire and regret, and the fleeting nature of pleasure.

Kiss in spring my summer wine is really made
From all these things
The singer's memory of the sweet berries and angelic kiss of spring combined to create a summer wine so delicious that it becomes an addiction.
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 lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, Summer wine
The singer entered town wearing silver spurs that jingled to the tune of a song she had only sung to a few people before. Inspired by the spurs, a woman asked to share some time with her and offered her an irresistible Summer wine.
Take off your silver spurs and
Help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mm, Summer wine
The woman asked the singer to remove her silver spurs and join her for some time together, in exchange for more of the addictive 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
The singer became so intoxicated by the wine that she lost consciousness and fell, unable to speak or even stand. The woman reassured her with a comforting phrase and gave her more of the 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
When the singer awoke from her drunken stupor, she realized that the woman had stolen her silver spurs, as well as a dollar and a dime, leaving her feeling drained and craving more of the irresistible 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
The song concludes with a repetition of the refrain, underscoring the singer's addiction to the Summer wine. The last line is a nonsensical series of syllables that serve as a musical flourish.
