Summer Wine
Suzi Jane Hokom Lyrics

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
The sweetness and purity of life, the joy of youth, and a sense of angelic protection.

My summer wine is really made from all these things
The singer uses her experiences and emotions to create something beautiful, like the way wine is made from grapes.

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
The singer is confident and proud, letting her presence be known with the sound of her spurs.

A song that I had only sang to just a few
The singer reveals an intimate part of herself to only a select few people.

She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
The woman is intrigued by the singer's confidence and wants to spend some time with her.

And I will give to you summer wine
The singer promises to share her experiences and emotions with the woman.

Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
The phrase 'summer wine' represents the feeling of warmth and happiness associated with youth and love.

Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
The woman wants the singer to let her guard down and be vulnerable, so they can share their experiences together.

My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
The singer is overcome with emotion and become unable to communicate.

I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
The singer feels lost and confused, unable to move forward in her life.

She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
The woman gives the singer a new perspective, helping her to see things in a different light.

And then she gave to me more summer wine
The woman deepens the singer's sense of happiness and warmth.

When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
The singer has a moment of clarity, realizing the brightness and beauty of the world around her.

My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
The singer's confidence and pride have been stripped away, leaving her feeling vulnerable and exposed.

She took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
The woman takes a piece of the singer's identity and leaves her with very little.

And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Despite the pain and vulnerability, the singer wants more of the warmth and happiness that the woman brought her.

Mmm-mm summer wine
A repetition of the phrase 'summer wine,' representing the ongoing desire for the warmth and happiness associated with youth and love.
