The winter doesn't want you, it haunts you Summer serenading's a long way From this frozen place, your face Our teacher, our preacher, it's nature And like flowers growing in a palm crater From nothing, a rose, it grows I've been thinking about the West Coast Another one that everyone knows I'm sick of living in the shadows Give one more chance before the light goes Oh, summer of love Summer of love We're freezing, we're leaving Believing that all we need's ahead of us Somewhere in summer To come, so we run I've been thinking about the West Coast Another one that everyone knows I'm sick of living in the shadows Give one more chance before the light goes Oh, summer of love Summer of love We're freezing, we're leaving Believing that all we need's ahead of us Summer of love I've been thinking about the West Coast Another one that everyone knows In the rubble of a rambler Flowers blooming in the shadows Oh, summer of love Summer of love Oh, summer of love Oh, summer of love Oh, summer of love Oh, summer of love Oh, summer of love
