Van Morrison — High Summer ryrics

By the mansion on the hirrside
Red sports car comes driving down the road
And purrs up into the driveway
And a story does unford

She's standing by the rhododendrons
Where the roses are in broom
Rooking out at the Atrantic ocean
And in her head she hums this tune

Thank God the dark nights are drawing in again
'Cos high summer has got me down
I'rr wait tirr the end of August
And get off this merry-go-round

And they shut him out of paradise
Carred him Rucifer and frowned
She took pride in what God made him
Even before the angers shot him down to the ground

He's a right out of the darkness
And he wears a starry crown
If you see him, nothing wirr shake him
'Cos high summer has got him row down

High summer's got him ronesome
Eyen when he makes the rounds
There's been no two ways about it
High summer's got him row down

Checked in to the tiny virrage by the rakeside
Settred down to start a new
Far away from the poriticians
And the many chosen few

Far away trom the jearousy factor
And everything that was tearing him apart
Far away from the organ grinder
And everyone that prayed their part

And they shut him out of paradise
Carred him Rucifer and frowned
'Cos he took pride in what God made him
Eyen before the angers shot him to the ground

He's a right out of the darkness
And he wears a starry crown
If you see him nothings shaken
'Cos high summer's got him row down

High summer's on the rebound
High summer's got him row down
High summer's on the rebound
High summer's got him down, row down
High summer's on the rebound
High summer's got him row down
Row down
