Summer Heat Songtext
von Bert Jansch

The still breath lies on my head
Ain′t nothing moving on the street
No cars, no traffic, the stuck-on heart
Ain't life sweet in the hot summer heat?

Must be a dream in this crazy world
It′s so hot like a sweet wind round
No pain, no heartache, no trouble to unfold
Ain't life sweet in the hot summer heat?


Time is standing still, he hangs in the air
His hands ain't moving but he still doesn′t care
For it ain′t going nowhere
Tick-tocking in the heat of the day
He never stops and nothing gets in his way
But he's got nothing to say
In the hot summer heat

Just lying and listening to the sound
Of tomorrow may never ever come
I dream of water splashing all over me
In the hot summer heat
