Sumer
Rostam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And soon it will all feel so long ago
On the street I felt the daylight again
And heard the voices of all my friends
Coming up the stairs I felt
The summer and the thunder
Coming through the window off the water
And I wondered
I was dead and born again, oh no
And soon it will all feel so long ago
On the street I felt the daylight again
And heard the voices of all my friends
Coming up the stairs I felt
The summer and the thunder
Coming through the window off the water
And I wondered

This song is from the 12th century English song “Sumer is icumen”. It’s so transcendent, so ethereal. Makes you think of past lives and souls. Such a beautiful song- he’s got so much talent.
