about

A tender ballad that tells a story of the seasons changing. Originally an instrumental (When Summer Comes) by Oscar, Deanne adapts the song beautifully with the help of Elvis Costello's lyrics.

lyrics

The land was white while the winter moon was absent
From the night, and the blackness only pierced by far-off stars.
But as every day still succeeds the darkest moments we have known
As seasons turn, springtime colours will return.


And as the first pale flowers of the lengthening hours
Seem to deepen the twilight and that melancholy cloak
Then a fresh perfume just seems to burst from each bloom
Until the green shoots through each day as it arrives
In every shade of hope.


When summer comes there will be a dream of peace
And a breath that I’ve held so long that I can barely release
Then perhaps I may even find a room somewhere,
Just a place I can still speak to you.
