It's Summer from Red by Gravity Machine
"A song about a conversation- a boy and a girl in the excitement of discovery; openness...a story of a summer; of shared secrets in sunlight; of joy by moonlight.
Those conversations don't need much exploration or expansion- those stories are for all of us- regardless of gender, orientation, time or place- these are the stories of lovers.
It's entirely fitting that a song about lovers should be about summer, for in that loving we create our own internal Summer".

Lyrics
It’s a rolling dust landscape
Dark and light by turns
Shaded by the shimmering mountains a city lies ahead
Rolling ever onwards
This feels right, it's summer
You take my hand
As I change gear
And my shadow falls over you
For all the echoing years
Rolling ever onwards
This feels right
It’s summer
Your eyes are a gift at noon
The heat of your hand in my own
Your hair on my shoulder
You move like a dancer in the silver moonlight
Talking about mountains
And horses in the Carmargue
Riding in the grasslands
Dancing in the dark
Rolling ever onwards
This feels right
Its summer
Your eyes are a gift at noon
The heat of your hand in my own
Your hair on my shoulder
You move like a dancer in the silver moonlight
We’re rolling ever onwards
This feels right
Its summer
That stillness in your green eyes
A truth that speaks so loudly
So much time gets wasted
In the damp air of careless days
We can dance with those we’ve lost
We can dance with those we’ve lost
