Last Day of Summer Songtext

von Kirsty MacColl

I think I just recalled a time
It was not the moon and not the wine
And though you said you were a friend of mine
I never felt that way inclined
Oh the days were hot and the nights were long
I must have sung a million songs
But all the words just came out wrong on the last day of summer
I tried to walk the line, hoped everything would turn out fine
But I think I fell in love that time on the last day

And then the rain came down
And sparkled the signs of the underground
And the darkness fell all over town on the last day
I think I dropped my guard that time
I was flesh and blood and grit and slime
And I think I may have lost my mind on the last day of summer

I think I fell in love back there
It was tooth and nail it was bones and hair
And you'll never know how much I cared on the last day of summer
And though I think I fell that time it was not the only fault of mine
But all I wanted was a sign on the last day
I think you broke my heart that day and nothing I could do or say
Could make the coldness go away on the last day

The winter changes everything
And the raindrops freeze on the signs of the underground
I wonder will you think of me when you look up
And see there's a full moon over London Town
I think I was away the day when you said you were too smart to play
And you'd only beat me anyway
It's funny how I would have stayed
And you said you were a friend of mine
But that's not what I had in mind
I think I fell in love that time on the last day of summer
I tried to walk the line, hoped everything would turn out fine
But I lost the reasons and the rhymes on the last day
And then the rain came down
And sparkled the signs of the underground
And the darkness fell all over town on the last day
