When I was seventeen My dreams would last a night And I could only fill One evening at a time All through the summer heat The visions came to me Like the lonely daydreams As I rolled down the street Summertime police Summertime please me Summertime police Summertime please me Sitting by country stream I learn to fear police My teacher said to me (One of these mornings) You mustn't dare to dream Summertime police Summertime release me Summertime police Summertime release me Summertime police Summertime police Summertime police Summertime release me Summertime release me
