Michael Franks - Burchfield Nines (Warner Bros., 1978)
8. Vivaldi’s Song
Lady, when you love me I feel
Home-sweet-home inside of your Sublime.
This Garden’s sure to grow, you know
Our love is just like Summertime.
Parrots eye the fruit and we make love
Between the harpsichords and lutes;
Our greenlimbs intertwine, you know
Our love is just like Summertime.
Our souls collide
We slip and slide
We feel no pain
And with our lives locked together
We weather the Wind and Rain,
We grow the Farm
We’re safe from Harm,
Inside this Circle of Summertime
Both of us know is our love.
Lovers from the Past with poison smiles
All pray our love will never last,
But we are Trees not Vines, you know
Our love is just like Summertime.
As the song begins these shipwrecks fade
Behind a wave of violins;
Vivaldi, made us rhyme, you know
Our love is just like Summertime.
