David's Last Summer

We made our way slowly down the path that led to the stream

Swaying slightly

Drunk on the Sun, I suppose

It was a real summer's day, the air humming with heat

Whilst the trees beckoned us into their cool green shade

And when we reached the stream

I put a bottle of cider into the water to chill

Both of us knowing that we'd drink it long before it had a chance

This is where you want to be

There's nothing else but you and her

And how you spend your time

Walking to parties whilst it's still light outside

Peter was upset at first

But now he's in the garden talking to somebody Polish

Why don't we set up a tent and spend the night out there?

And we can pretend that we're somewhere foreign

But we'll still be able to use the fridge, if we get hungry

Or too hot

This is where you want to be

There's nothing else but you and her

And how you spend your time

Oh

We went driving

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo

Oh

This is where you want to be

There's nothing else but you and her

And how you spend your time

Your time

Your time

The room smells faintly of Sun tan lotion in the evening sunlight

And when you take off your clothes

You're still wearing a small pale-skin bikini

The sound of children playing in the park comes from faraway

And time slows down to the speed of the specks of dust

Floating in the light from the window

Summer leaves fall from summer trees

Summer grazes fade on summer knees

Summer nights are slowly getting long

Summer's going so hurry soon it'll be gone

So we went out to the park at midnight one last time

Past the abandoned glasshouse stuffed full of dying palms

Past the bandstand and down to the boating lake

And we swam in the moonlight for what seemed like hours

Until we couldn't swim anymore

And as we came out of the water

We sensed a certain movement in the air

And we both shivered slightly

And we ran to collect our clothes

And as we walked home

We could hear the leaves curling and turning brown on the trees

And the birds deciding where to go for the winter

And the whole sound

The whole sound of summer packing its bags

And preparing to leave town

Ooh, I want you to stay

Oh, please stay for a while

Please stay for a while

Ooh, I want you to stay

Oh, please stay for a while

Please stay for a while

I don't want you to go

Stay
