Lynn Hilary — Swimming In The Barrow lyrics

Lyrics

I woke in my hat and my boots because I knew that I’d
miss the show
I didn’t know what day it was and I didn’t need to know
The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea
But a hot day down by the Barrow so brown is like
heaven on earth to me So down we go in the summer’s glow, you’ll run to keep
up with me We’re set for the day and we know we can stay with a bun and a bottle of tea
The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea
But a hot day down by the Barrow so brown is like
heaven on earth to me So we run outside, say, «Who cares about the weather?»
Tell me you’ll be mine for a thousand years
And the water’s fine, wish this day could last forever
And stay summertime for a thousand years
Jump ya little boy, sink down into the Barrow
Jump ya little boy, down deep into the Barrow
Swim ya little boy, now swimming in the Barrow
Swim ya little boy, down deep into the Barrow
The girls arrive so very alive with ribbons and shiny
hair
You’re risking your life with a class of a dive, I hope
that I see you there
The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea
But a hot day down by the Barrow so brown is like
heaven on earth to me
I woke in my hat and my boots because I knew that I’d
miss the show
I didn’t know what day it was and I didn’t need to know
The Irish summer is like no other for skipping down to the sea
But a hot day down by the Barrow so brown is like
heaven on earth to me So we run outside, say, «Who cares about the weather?»
Tell me you’ll be mine for a thousand years
And the water’s fine, wish this day could last forever
And stay summertime for a thousand years
Jump ya little boy, sink down into the Barrow
Jump ya little boy, down deep into the Barrow
Swim ya little boy, now swimming in the Barrow
Swim ya little boy, down deep into the Barrow
Jump ya little boy, now
Jump ya little boy, now
Swim ya little boy, now
Swim ya little boy, now
Jump ya little boy, now
Swim ya little boy, now
Swim ya little boy, now
