Summer Stars
Wheeland Brothers Lyrics

Under summer stars
The singers are under the stars during the summer.

I never knew
They were unaware of something before.

Im with you, Im with you
They are together with someone and expressing it.

Firelight keeps flickerin
The light from the fire keeps flickering.

this summer night keeps sinkin in
The night during summer feels long and overwhelming.

with the moonlit fog creepin in
The fog at night is increasing as seen under moonlight.

and all the while Im thinking is
The singer is constantly contemplating something.

adaptin to, reactin to the positives attractin
The artist is trying to adapt and react to the good things happening around them.

when you ponder trust in wonderlust
The artist thinks of trusting wonderlust.

Life aint such a bad thing
Speaker thinks that life is positive.

Sinkin on the midnight boat
The singer feels low or down when they're alone at night.

More than any man can pay
No one can pay for something more than the artist can at this moment.

Patch the hole in the workyard fence
Speaker repairs a hole in the fence at a workyard.

but it never goes away
The problem of the hole in the fence always reappears.

keep your face to the sunshine and the shadows fall behind
When someone focuses on positive things, negative things fade away.

we're reachin up to the summer stars and lustin what we find
The artist is reaching out for the stars in the summer sky in search of something grand.

No matter where we go
The artist is emphasizing that their present location is important.

thats just where we are
Where they're at is their reality, whether they like it or not.

up above the clouds but underneath the stars
They are under the stars but above the clouds.

midnight sky, take me by surprise
The artist is caught off guard by the beauty of the midnight sky.

Oh, ive been dreamin of far away
The artist dreams of being somewhere else farther away from where they currently are.

like im destined to sail away
The artist feels compelled to set sail and leave where they are now.

but im lost and tossed in the break of the wake
The singer feels lost and overwhelmed by the disturbance in the water's surface.

so wake, and take me away from the scene
The artist wants to be taken away from whatever is currently causing them distress.

and make me say what I mean
The singer wants to be able to communicate clearly and effectively.

footprints on the road less traveled
The singer is walking on a less commonly taken path.

wild night burns with electric light
The night is filled with energy and electricity.

coast is clear, (Im choked as a jackal?)
The coast is clear but the artist has a feeling of unease.

wild wind on the spokes of our bikes
The wind is blowing on the spokes of their bicycles.

A (?) shouts, (marins?) of our dreams
Someone is shouting, possibly about the dreams the singer and their companion have.

Sky above, we fell in love, enough to set us free
The sky brought them together and their love freed them.

And the break, the break, the break down
Something is breaking down or coming to an end.

is the beginning of something new
The end of something signals the start of something else.

Under summer stars
Back to the opening scene where they are under the stars during summer.
