Versuri 02. Summertime in England

Can you meet me in the country 
In the summertime in England? 
Will you meet me? 
 
Will you meet me in the country 
In the summertime in England? 
Will you meet me? 
 
We'll go riding up to Kendal in the country 
In the summertime in England 
 
Did you ever hear about 
Did you ever hear about 
Did you ever hear about 
Wordsworth and Coleridge, baby? 
Did you ever hear about 
Wordsworth and Coleridge? 
 
They were smokin' up in Kendal 
By the lakeside 
 
Can you meet me in the country in the long grass 
In the summertime in England? 
Will you meet me? 
 
With your red robe dangling all around your body 
With your red robe dangling all around your body 
Will you meet me? 
 
Did you ever hear about 
William Blake 
T. S. Eliot? 
 
In the summer, in the countryside 
They were smokin' 
Summertime in England 
 
Won't you meet me down Bristol 
Meet me along by Bristol 
We'll go ridin' down 
 
Down by Avalon 
Down by Avalon 
Down by Avalon 
In the countryside in England 
 
With your red robe danglin' all around your body free 
Let your red robe go 
 
Goin' ridin' down by Avalon 
Would you meet me in the country 
In the summertime in England 
 
Would you meet me? 
In the Church of St. John 
Down by Avalon 
Holy Magnet 
Give you attraction 
Yeah, I was attracted to you 
 
Your coat was old, ragged and worn 
And you wore it down through the ages 
Ah, the sufferin' did show in your eyes as we spoke 
And the gospel music 
The voice of Mahalia Jackson came through the ether 
 
Oh, my common one with the coat so old 
And the light in the head 
Said, "Daddy, don't stroke me" 
Call me the common one 
I said, "Oh, common one, my illuminated one 
Oh, my high in the art of sufferin' one" 
 
Take a walk with me 
Take a walk with me down by Avalon 
Oh, my common one with the coat so old 
And the light in her head 
 
And the sufferin' so fine 
Take a walk with me down by Avalon 
And I will show you 
It ain't why, why, why 
It just is 
 
Would you meet me in the country? 
Can you meet me in the long grass 
In the country in the summertime? 
Can you meet me in the long grass? 
Wait a minute 
With your red robe danglin' all around your body 
 
Yeats and Lady Gregory corresponded 
And James Joyce wrote streams 
Of consciousness books 
T.S. Eliot chose England 
T.S. Eliot joined the ministry 
 
Did you ever hear about Wordsworth and Coleridge? 
Smokin' up in Kendal 
They were smokin' by the lakeside 
Let your red robe go 
Let your red robe dangle in the countryside in England 
 
We'll go ridin' down by Avalon 
In the country, in the summertime 
With you by my side 
Let your red robe go 
You'll be happy dancin' 
Let your red robe go 
 
Won't you meet me down by Avalon 
In the summertime in England 
In the Church of St. John? 
Did you ever hear about Jesus walkin' 
Jesus walkin' down by Avalon? 
 
Can you feel the light in England? 
Can you feel the light in England? 
Oh, my common one with the light in her head 
And the coat so old 
And the sufferin' so fine 
 
Take a walk with me 
Oh, my common one 
Oh, my illuminated one 
Down by Avalon 
 
Oh, my common one 
Oh, my story time one 
Oh, my treasury in the sunset 
Take a walk with me 
And I will show you 
It ain't why, it just is 
 
Oh, my common one 
With the light in the head 
And the coat so old 
Oh, my high in the art of sufferin' one 
 
Oh, my common one 
Take a walk with me 
Down by Avalon 
And I will show you 
It ain't why, it just is 
 
Oh, my common one with the light in her head 
And the coat so fine 
And the sufferin' so high 
All right now 
 
Oh, my common one 
It ain't why, it just is 
That's all 
That's all there is about it 
It just is 
 
Can you feel the light? 
I want to go to church and say 
In your soul 
Ain't it high? 
 
Oh, my common one 
Oh, my story time one 
Oh, my high in the art of sufferin' one 
Put your head on my shoulder 
And you listen to the silence 
Can you feel the silence?
