The summer child is running the summer child is running again

The summer child is running the summer child is running again

When you hear the feet and the sound of laughter

Better step aside for the mayhem after

Here she comes yeah the summer child is running again

It's the stormy season lighting flashes through the air

And the water bugs are busy spinning backwards in the rain

The summer child is running summer child is running again

The summer child is running summer child is running again

And they're spinning out like old tin tops

One of them is down and all time stops

Now she's up yeah the summer child is running again

Come my freezing daughter brave the icy water

Enter slowly under cherry blossoms

Racing as you see the gates of summer

There is time and time to come underneath the golden sun

And forever will melt slowly in a glass of lemonade

And oh she's coming running and oh she's coming running again

The summer child is running the summer child is running again

Better have a seat 'cause you won't run past her

Try to take it in every year she's faster

Here she comes yeah the summer child is running again

The sun is shining and the summer child is running again
