Summertime sitting low today
People passing on their way
Some stop by to hear us sing
Smile at these words we bring
These Whisper-winds on the backyard bay
Summertime sitting low today

Starlight ebbing overhead
Echoes fade with all we said
And all we sang like milkweed dew
Somewhere stuck inside of you
With a pillow dune and a sandy bed
Starlight stretching overhead

Every treasure is not the same
Your value is more than your pain
Reach up, reach up, reach out to me
I'll hold you up and then you'll see
You shine the light that cannot blind
You hold a candle that outshines
Hold on, hold on, hold on to time
Tomorrow is not a place unkind

Summertime sitting low today
Make the best in work and play
Hold the rhythm in your step
Keep swimming out beyond your depth
Smile all these salty tears away
Summertime rising up today
