Drowning Fish Summer Of `89 Lyrics

Summer Of `89 Lyrics

School got out

And summer arrived

We kicked things off with a water fight

There we were

Just a moment in time

Looking back

It was the time of our lives

It was a summer made of dreams

And it had just begun

Sunrise woke me with a beautiful song

A brand new day in a beautiful world

Ran through the backyard's cool morning shadows

My friends next door would meet me by the wall

Our lives as free as a fantasy

Wide awake in a dream



It was the summer of fun

And you know that's what we had

It was the summer to which

I will always look back

We were kids growing up

Walking a straight path

Having the times of our lives

In the summer of '89



The doors to my dad's store closed for good

Filled the fridge with candy

Who drank all the Yoo-hoo

Sang along to Pirate Radio

Pretended I was a DJ as I taped the songs

I still laugh thinking when my cousin said, “Women are all like
snakes�



We packed our bags and flew to Washington

My cousin's wedding, family reunion

Another plane, we're off to Montreal

Road trip with Zou Zou to Niagara Falls

Richard Marx woke us to, “Right Here Waiting For You�



It was the summer of fun

And you know that's what we had

It was the summer to which

I will always look back

We were kids growing up

Walking a straight path

Having the times of our lives

In the summer of '89 



I remember the late night barbeques

Spin the bottle in the family room

Picking peaches from our yard of fruits

You sang La Bamba and I yelled “Shut Up!�

Tied a string to a beetle, watched it fly like a kite

I liked to tape record everyday life



It was the summer of fun

And you know that's what we had

It was the summer to which

I will always look back

We were kids growing up

Walking a straight path

Having the times of our lives

In the summer of '89
