Summer's Lost It's Way (new song) On 3 String Cigar Box Guitar

http://bemuzic.bandcamp.com/

I wrote the first few lines of this song while walking into Cambridge to busk a few weeks ago. After a long rainy spell it was a beautiful day and suddenly groups of tourists were everywhere.
I finished the song over the next few days and it was good to go back to Cambridge yesterday and sing it : -)
It seems every time I decide to do a video it gets really windy!...or is it every time it gets windy, I decide to do a video??
The sound is a bit rubbish as just done on my phone and the amp was up a bit too loud for it. Thought I'd share it anyway, as I never seem to have time to do a video at home lately!

LYRICS

Summer's Lost It's Way

Clusters of tourists like bees in a swarm,
hum round the streets now the air is getting warm,
and it feels like
Summer's on it's way.

Groups flow around me like water round a stone.
Nowhere in this city you can be alone,
and it feels like
Summer has her way,

but it's hailing one day,
heatwave the next.
The ice creams keep selling,
as we bury our heads.

Clusters of tourists like bees in a swarm,
hum round the streets now the air is getting warm,
and it feels like,
Summer's lost it's way.

Ah, very nice mood set and a good song,  You are in great voice.

I have tried to do my annual spring vid from the cemetery and wind prevented it twice.

Great job - looks like a lovely sunny day in town !!  There's no point in wondering why the weather does what it does.  By the time you've decided, it's changed :-\
