[Verse 1]
I come home in the evening,
Unlock the front door,
And step inside to find
A sweltering, oppressive heat.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I mix instant coffee with water and float some ice cubes to chill it.
[Chorus 1]
In summer, the sun sets late,
The cool hours are fleeting,
I cherish those few hours,
Before darkness falls.
[Verse 2]
I down two glasses of it in one go,
Take my purchases out of my backpack,
And quickly put them in the fridge.
I toss out the ice from the plastic bag.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A single cable charges my laptop battery and connects it to an external display.
[Chorus 2]
In summer, the sun sets late,
The cool hours are fleeting,
I cherish those few hours,
Before darkness falls.
[Verse 3]
An external drive sucks up the backup data.
While my smartphone plays music,
I carry it with me as I change clothes and step outside into the setting sun.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
There isn’t a soul in sight.
Going to a hot spring is a sign of affluence.
[Chorus 3]
In summer, the sun sets late,
The cool hours are fleeting,
I cherish those few hours,
Before darkness falls.
[Bridge]
The chirping of bell crickets,
The sound of distant waves,
The sound of a wind chime.
[Final Chorus]
In summer, the sun sets late,
The cool hours are fleeting,
I cherish those few hours,
Before darkness falls.
[Outro]
