Music & lyrics by Mike Holober

lyrics

Long summer days
the bird-song in the trees,
a fort made out of hay
a screen porch thunderstorm.

When all was new,
a tumble in the grass,
two fawns go dancing past,
the endless stripes of corn.

A barefoot mood,
another ballgame lost,
a field one lonely horse,
a bike ride ice cream cone.

When all was new,
a Monday barbecue,
so much nothing to do,
there’s no such thing as more.

A glint of trout,
a chocolate snout,
a bed of hay,
a splash of cool,
no school.

The pennies laid
upon the track,
the whistle blows,
I’ll ride in the caboose,
you’re free

It was always summer
when there were trains

The rippled sun,
a pond lit up by sails,
a fish with just one cast,
this world will always be

one that is new,
the child inside of you,
the thrilling rumble now,
you will remember
it was always summer in our hearts
through the spring rain

When there were trains
When there were trains

The rippled sun,
a pond lit up by sails,
a fish with just one cast,
this world will always be

one that is new,
the child inside of you,
the thrilling rumble now,
you will remember
it was always summer in our hearts
through the spring rain

When there were trains
When there were trains
