about

Summerbid is the second single of my upcoming album "Dawn over Dublin".

lyrics

we found each other
when the days were getting colder
and the nights darker
we found each other
when the leaves turned red
I said it’s like I already know you
and I wasn’t sure if you really telling me the truth
when you answered
that you feel this too

but now the days go by
and time runs short
and we’ve got sleepless nights
‘cause we don’t wanna part
my heart my heart
I wanna let you know

now go and travel the world
and find the places you belong
feel free
but somewhere in your heart remember me
why do the summerbirds have to follow the sun?
if I could I’d keep you
but I know I know I gotta let you run
I gotta let you run

you woke a new melody in me
and now is it going to stop?
there’s a brand new energy
and I don’t ever want it to stop, no no
how is it going to be like
there’s a spark of fear
we don’t know we don’t know
and how is it going to feel like
when you’ll be back
we don’t know we don’t know

and now days go by
and time runs short
and we’ve got sleepless nights
‘cause we don’t wanna part
my heart my heart
I wanna let you know

now go and travel the world
and find the places you belong
feel free
but somewhere in your heart remember me
why do the summerbirds have to follow the sun?
if I could I’d keep you
but I know I know I gotta let you run
I gotta let you run

if I could I’d keep you
if I could I’d keep you
if I could I’d keep you
if I could I’d keep you
if I could I’d keep you
if I could I’d keep you
if I could I’d keep you
if I could I’d keep you

now go and travel the world
and find the places you belong
feel free
but somewhere in your heart remember me
why do the summerbirds have to follow the sun?
if I could I’d keep you
but I know I know I gotta let you run
I gotta let you run

I gotta let you run
I gotta let you run
