Story Behind The Song

Inspired by Summers on Irish west coast, particularly Clifden. The lyrics also deal with the universal concept of "Summer" and how it seeps under our skin to remind us of happiness, youth, good times, endless days and freedom.

Lyrics

Summertown, Is waiting all year round
For the boys and girls to come around
Bikini clad and wanting no more than
Long, lazy days...and endless cooling

Down at the shore
Where a little piece of heaven
Fills every pore
From the dawn til way past seven
Over the dunes, to where the water gently

Laps at our toes and bathes our tired soles
Finding shells among the rocks and stones
Ah the sand burns our feet
That´s why we´re tracing our steps

Back to the place
Where the days always seemed longer
When we believed
The illusions we were under
For you and me there couldn´t be a better life

That´s why you´ll always find me
Chasing my dreams like the clouds across the sky
Putting my faith in the hands of come what may
Ticker-tape parades and marching bands
Candy floss and couples hand in hand
Oh the streets will overflow into our lives
