Wednesday in Words': The Rural Alberta Advantage-"In the Summertime"

Maybe it's just my mind wandering off looking ahead to the Summer, or maybe it's because I caught a live show from these guys recently and they've been stuck in my head ever since. But in today's 'Wednesday in Words' I wanted to take a closer look at the lyrics to the fantastic track from The Rural Alberta Advantage, "In the Summertime." This song is the closing track to their gorgeous album, Hometowns which got re-released in 2009 after the band signed on board with Saddle Creek. A perfect ending to a perfect album.



The Rural Alberta Advantage- "In The Summertime"
In the summertime,
I don't know if the stars were aligned.
We'd stumble onto something we would like
And I'm afraid I lost the words tonight

And in your summer dress, was holding you
But you were holding less
It's not the words, it's the ones you stress
I love as I love you just don't love me less

And once in a while,
I know our hearts beat of time.
And once in a while,
I know they'll fall back in line.

And in the summertime,
I don't know if the stars were aligned
We'd stumble onto something we would like
And I'm afraid I lost the words tonight

And when we're middle aged,
You tell me I loved you like a renegade
And how I say the things that make you sway.
And mostly I tell you you did the same.

And once in a while,
I know our hearts beat out of time.
And once in a while,
I know they'll fall back in line.

Our love is strong.
Our love is strong.
Our love is strong.
While my heart's still pumping blood.
