Summer Wine
Nancy Sinatra/Lee Hazelwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 said let's pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Oh, 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
Oh, oh 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
Oh, 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
Mmm-mm summer wine
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
Oh, 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 my summer wine
The lyrics of Nancy Sinatra's song Summerwine describe a romantic encounter that takes place during the summer season. The singer begins by describing how the ingredients of her favorite wine include strawberries, cherries, and an angel's kiss in spring. She is then approached by a woman who is intrigued by her silver spurs that jingle as she walks. The two of them spend time together, enjoying the summer warmth and drinking summer wine. The singer begins to feel intoxicated by the wine and finds herself unable to speak or stand, but the other woman reassures her and continues to give her more wine until she falls asleep. When she wakes up, she realizes that the woman has taken her silver spurs and some money, leaving her with a desire for more of the intoxicating summer wine.
The lyrics of Summerwine are very poetic and metaphorical. The singer uses the ingredients of her favorite wine to describe the sweetness and beauty of the summer season, and the romance she experiences is likened to the intoxicating effects of the wine. The use of the silver spurs is also a metaphor for the singer's free-spiritedness and wanderlust, as she is able to wander through life, jingling her way to new experiences and encounters. The song is a celebration of the pleasures of the summer season, and of love and romance.
