(Last of the Summer Wine by Mike Sammes Singers)

The Last of the Summer Wine
Reminds us of the summer time
The grapes were ripe, and strong were vine
And love was all of life

The seeds that we sow in spring
Will bring the autumn harvest in
In summer we can watch them grow
But summers quickly go

The birds awake, the bloom appears
Time shapes the bough
The blossom falls like passing years
Where are they now

The last of the summer wine
Will dull the dreams of summer time
Whatever can the fable mean
Who writes the final line

For now as the snow appears
We tread the grapes of yesteryear
For nothing in the world can last
Not even summer wine

The birds awake, the bloom appears
Time shapes the bough
The blossom falls like passing years
Where are they now

The last of the summer wine
Will dull the dreams of summer time
Whatever can the fable mean
Who writes the final line

For now as the snow appears
We tread the grapes of yesteryear
For nothing in the world can last
Not even summer wine
