Summer Saw​.​.​. - remastered

lyrics

Tired of the rain and the Dutch skies
Here we're lying on the ground
Summer love, light tendencies
A form of social politeness

But the summer got us drinking 'till we're wasted every day
Anyway

Like a mermaid on the sand
Having drinks on the terraces
Sucking the ice cones from your hand
Kissing with you in the end

But the summer got us drinking 'till we're wasted every day
Anyway
And the summer saw you riding on my past
Riding in the sand

What's it like to be in town?
What's it like to hang around?
Seven storms and seven seas got me lying on the ground

But the summer saw us drinking 'till we're wasted every day
Anyway
And the summer saw you riding on my past
Riding in the sand
Or in the shade
In the shade

But the summer got us drinking 'till we're wasted every day
Anyway
And the summer saw you riding on my past
Riding me the shade
In the shade

"You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away."
