1.
The sun gilds all things underneath
as through the blue it glides;
the seas like sheets of golden leaf
crumpled by waves and tide.
 
2.
 
Like spears of sun are sheaves of corn
that spread for miles and miles
when heaven, its spell, weaves upon
the world with golden smiles.
 
Chorus:
 
And heading out, heads filled with schemes;
limbs spreading out like gilded beams;
with sunkissed skin and souls that gleam,
young lovers savour golden dreams.
 
All the lovers of the Summer;
filled with the fire of the young.
Oh, the glitter and the glamour
of this golden age of sun.
 
 
 
3.
 
The goldfinch and the firecrest
are summer flames to me,
they fly and leap in feather dress
like firelight set free.
 
4.
 
And marigolds their flames unfold
like mirrors of the sun
while in mother summers golden hold
her children play and run.
 
Chorus:
 
And heading out, heads filled with schemes;
limbs spreading out like gilded beams;
with sunkissed skin and souls that gleam,
young lovers savour golden dreams.
 
All the lovers of the Summer;
filled with the fire of the young.
Oh, the glitter and the glamour
of this golden age of sun.

I think the chorus is absolutely terrific and the verses all work. Anyone got a good band who would do this justice?
