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
Ohh-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
Ohh-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
Ohh-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
Ohh-Oh-Oh Summer Wine
When I Woke Up The Sun Was Shining In My Eyes
My Silver Spurs Were Gone My Head Felt Twice It's Size
She Took My Silver Spurs A Dollar And A Dime
And Left Me Cravin' For More Summer Wine
Ohh-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
Ohh-Oh-Oh Summer Wine
"Summer Wine" is a ballad about a man who meets a woman and shares a bottle of summer wine with her. The wine is a metaphor for their romantic experience together, made from the sweetest fruits of the season: strawberries, cherries, and an "angel's kiss" in spring. The man describes walking into town on his silver spurs jingling to a tune he's only sung to a few. The woman takes notice of his spurs and asks him to pass the time with her. They drink summer wine together and indulge in their playful attraction.
The chorus repeats the line "Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time" as the woman leads the man into a state of euphoric bliss. His eyes grow heavy, and he struggles to get up when the woman reassures him with an "unfamiliar line." The story concludes with the man waking up alone with the sun shining in his eyes. His silver spurs are gone, and he is left craving more summer wine.
Overall the song is about a casual romantic fling that is brief but intense, leaving the singer (presumably male) with a feeling of satisfaction and a yearning for more.
