Here Comes The Summer Lyrics - The Fiery Furnaces

Last day in May, the afternoon: remember? 

Black marks off charcoal from the dune: remember? 

I thought it wouldn't be too soon; we'd wait at least until its June. 

The twenty-ninth of March it rained: remember? 

You looked so sad that I explained: remember? 

You knew it wouldn't be too soon; we'll have to wait until its June. 

I've been waiting since I don't know when and now it finally seems about to start. 

I swear, I swear, that I will do my part. 

December dark at six o'clock: remember? 

The freezing wind gives you a shock: remember? 

You knew it wouldn't be too soon; we'll have to wait until its June. 

October damp on down the street: remember? 

The sodden leaves stuck to your feet: remember? 

You knew it wouldn't be too soon; we'll have to wait until its June. 

I've been waiting since I don't know when and now it finally seems about to start. 

I swear, I swear, that I will do my part. 

July the third we stayed up late: remember? 

And thought how long we'd have to wait: remember? 

It'll be so long until it's soon; it'll be so long until its June.
