Songs About / On: JUNE

Written by danny kirwan.

Sun shines through my window in the afternoon
Sparrows on the railings in the month of june
Summer nights which start from skies at rainbow’s end
Dusty morns with tiresome yawns read more »

I sowed the seeds of love
I sowed them in the springtime
Gathered them up in the morning so soon
While small birds sweetly sing
While small birds sweetly sing read more »

(tom springfield / clive westlake)

The night runs away with the day
The grass that was green is now hay
The world goes around without even a sound
And it looks like the summer is over read more »

I closed the door and I walked away

From the life I knew read more »

Now this is somethin' from back in the day
I'll always remember Run DMC
And all the good times
That we had on the beach
Stealing sips from a paper cup
And making out in the sand
Maybe I'm dreaming
Can you tell me

[Chorus]
Do you remember
The summers that lasted so long
June til September
Was our time to sing all the songs
Do you remember
All of us together
As we grew up under the sun

I'll always remember everything we do
Rockin' the eighties blastin' KROQ
I remember Culture Club
The Clash, and Men Without Hats
Seems kind of funny right now
But it's taking me back
We'd always sing along
And laugh out loud at ourselves
Don't want to stop dreaming
Can you tell me

[Chorus]
Do you remember
The summers that lasted so long
June til September
Was our time to sing all the songs
Do you remember
All of us together
As we grew up under the sun

I want to rewind every time
'Cause the words have so much meaning
They were there when nobody cared
Always knew what I was feeling
Stay tonight don't leave me reminiscing
All I do is wind up missing you
And you missing
Are you missing me
na na na

[Chorus]
Do you remember
The summers that lasted so long
June til September
Was our time to sing all the songs
Do you remember
All of us together
As we grew up under the sun read more »

(Chorus): "Aba daba daba daba daba daba dab" means
"Monk, I love but you"
"Aba daba dab," in monkey talk,
Means "Chimp, I love you too"
Then the big baboon, one night in June read more »

(Rodgers & Hart)
Once there was a thing called Spring
When the world was writing
Verses like yours and mine
All the boys and girls would sing read more »

She’s gonna be dancing soon
Stepping out of her winter into june
Lying in fields as green as the life she once knew
Spirit please lead your child home
Bring to her eyes the God she has grown
Spirit please lead you child home read more »

The moon and you appear to be
So near and yet so far from me
And here am I on a night in june
Reaching for the moon and you, read more »

Alice wakes
It is morning
She is yawning
As she walks about the room
Her hair falls down her breast
She is naked and it is June read more »
