The Summerhouse

Do you remember the way it used to be?

June to September in a cottage by the sea

Distant cousins, local kids

We climbed every tree together

And it never ever rained

'Til we climbed back on the train

That would take us so far away

From the village and the rain

And the summerhouse

Where we found new games to play

Do you remember Sunday lunch on the lawn?

Daring escapes at midnight

And costumeless bathes at dawn

You were only nine years old

And I was barely ten

It's kind of weird to be back here again

Do you remember

The summerhouse

Our summerhouse?
