lyrics

Down the lanes I used to roam
Past the lilies on the water
Where the evening breezes blow
Orange grove and apple orchard

Never dreamed I’d dream of you today

Naked in the yellow fields
Bathing in the summer thunder
Chase behind the tractor’s wheels
Beaten tracks in bare feet running

Traces of the games we used to play
Didn’t know they’d still be there today

And in a straw hat I’m going to lie down
And in a haystack I’ll spend an afternoon
And in a straw hat I’ll let the time go
I’m going to lie back and watch the cold stream flow

Endless summer afternoons
Juniper and lilac blossom
Girl her name I never knew
Only face I’ve not forgotten

How do I remember you today?
Sleeping in the long grass where we lay

And in a straw hat and in a farmyard
I’ll watch a brown cat chasing butterflies
And in a straw hat and in the sunshine
I’m going to lie back and let the days go by

Running by the burning corn
Down the endless days of August
Chase the light until it’s gone
Warmest days are getting shorter

These’ll be my memories
A lifetime still in front of me
Never need to search for you again

And in a straw hat along the hillside
And in the long grass I’m looking worldwide
Until I come back and in a long time
I’ll leave a straw hat I will return to find

I’ll wear a straw hat all of my life
And eating brown bread and drinking red wine
And on a bare rock I’m going to climb high
And throw a straw hat into the bright blue sky
