From the recording Under Construction LP2
This is a song about recovery from a setback and moving on. Winter was a dark place, and as spring turns into summer life looks better again - and sunshine feels good! I wanted to get a positive and feel-good vibe in the song with rhythms that reminded me of times living in Bermuda.

Lyrics
Wanna live in the sunshine.
And take back what’s mine.
I want summer to go on for ever.
I can feel winter coming to an end.
The sun is higher in the sky again
After so long with short, dark days.
I dream of summer and warm morning haze
The birds start to sing, the first buds flower.
Running for cover in an April shower
The world right now looks so much better.
Than on that winter day after your letter
Wanna live in the sunshine.
And take back what’s mine.
I want summer to go on for ever.
Wanna live in the sunshine.
And live life together.
I don’t want to start again.
So now the summer is my life.
I still want you to be my wife.
Despite those dark winter nights
Didn’t see the truth in the headlights.
Shining right in my face.
Someone else had taken my place
Years passed like clouds in a stormy sky
Time is a healer, don’t have to try
Forget about what might have been
Forget about you. Ice Queen.
I can feel winter coming to an end.
The sun is higher in the sky again
After so long with short, dark days.
I dream of summer and warm morning haze
Wanna live in the sunshine.
And take back what’s mine.
I want summer to go on for ever.
Wanna live in the sunshine.
And live life together.
I don’t want to start again.
