I buried our love In the backyard Until it thaws We could play cards 'Cause I know that it's hard When it's dark and cold And all that you feel Is yourself getting old But summer will come With all green and sweetened ice tea Summer will come And be all green with the sweetness of these So feed me a kiss Chapped lips and all And I'll bring back the tape Of an empire's fall Summer will come With all green and sweetened ice tea Summer will come And be all green with the sweetness of these And I'll tie a string around my finger So I don't forget Not to get so tied up to The things that I regret 'Cause summer will come With all green and sweetened ice tea Summer will come And be all green with the sweetness of these
