Summertime Sadness, by Lana Del Rey (Bardcore/Medieval Style)

Good day fine people! I present a eulogy for a rather unpleasant summer, and wish you all a happier autumn!

In other news, I will likely be holding off on pursuing Spotify until I have enough songs to just upload a proper album. Rest assured I will announce it the moment I do. Also, I'd love to share another fun interview I did a little while back for those of you who are interested: https://bit.ly/3lMJqTv

Lyrics:
Kiss me once before thou goest
Summertide sorrow
I have loved thee the most
And shall love thee to my barrow

I don my red surcoat tonight
Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight
Like Godiva, hair loose down to the thigh
Pattens off, I feel so alive

Oh, by God! I feel it in the air
Cathedral bells above a-ringing like a prayer
How my heart’s afire! I feel it everywhere
Naught can daunt me anymore

Kiss me once before thou goest
Summertide sorrow
I have loved thee the most
And shall love thee to my barrow

‘Tis but summertide,
Summertide sorrow
Summertide, summertide sorrow
‘Tis but summertide, summertide sorrow
Oh, oh, oh

I feel the wind with every stride
Riding nearly swift as the arrow flies
With my vagabond by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I shall die happy tonight

Oh, by God! I feel it in the air
Cathedral bells above a-ringing like a prayer
How my heart’s afire! I feel it everywhere
Naught can daunt me anymore

Kiss me once before thou goest
Summertide sorrow
I have loved thee the most
And shall love thee to my barrow

‘Tis the summertide,
Summertide sorrow
Summertide, summertide sorrow
‘Tis the summertide, summertide sorrow
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

I shall miss thee forever
Like the stars miss the sun in the morning sky
Later is better than never
E’en if thou art gone, I shall yet ride, ride, ride

‘Tis but summertide,
Summertide sorrow
Summertide, summertide sorrow
‘Tis but summertide, summertide sorrow
Oh, oh, oh

Kiss me once before thou goest
Summertide sorrow
I have loved thee the most
And shall love thee to my barrow

‘Tis but summertide,
Summertide sorrow
Summertide, summertide sorrow
‘Tis but summertide, summertide sorrow
Oh, oh, oh
