I Came to Somerset

歌詞

Summer headed south in '64 And found me there in my beat up car My sole possessions came to nothing more Than my travelling bags And an old guitar Wine and pretty women were the life of me And the devil rode along for my company Singing and picking I did the rounds Of a score of southern country towns I came to Somerset when summer's leaves were turning yellow And summer's songs had all been sung By fellows such as I I came to Somerset to sow the seeds of wild abandon And people there came out to stand and watch me passing by Was in the chill of that early autumn In the breathless still of an afternoon When I felt a sudden strange contentment Lying there in Matilda's room Matilda's arms were warm and willing Matilda's arms were mind to share And it seems they found a need within me I never ever knew was there I came to Somerset When summer's leaves were turning yellow And summer's songs were reckless songs For fellows such as I I came to Somerset to sow the seeds of wild abandon People there seemed to understand And they watched me passing by Some people say they're like their mother Other people say they've got my ways And it seems kinda quiet around there Since they started school The other day I came to Somerset when summer's leaves were turning yellow And summer's songs had all been sung By fellows such as I I came to Somerset to sow the seeds of wild abandon People there come out to stand And they watch us passing by
