Strawbs - Two Weeks Last Summer lyrics

rate me

The dancing flames grow low<br />

Burning embers start to glow<br />

Pictures soon will fade<br />

Pictures that the flames have made<br />

Your hazy wistful face<br />

Suddenly is gone without a trace.<br />

<br />

Summer days all float downstream,<br />

Wondering where the day has been<br />

Boats that sail away at night<br />

Come the day have sailed far out of sight.<br />

<br />

Reminiscing, summer walks<br />

Empty glances, moonlit talks<br />

[Promises that mean so much<br />

Broken with a single touch/<br />

Candy floss and ice cream cones<br />

Discotheques and Rolling Stones]<br />

Passing fancies fly away<br />

Empty shadows on a sunlit bay.<br />

<br />

Summer days all [I] float downstream,<br />

Wondering where the day has been<br />

Boats that sail away at night<br />

Come the day have sailed far out of sight.<br />

<br />

[Deserted evenings warm and still<br />

Strangers come and go at will<br />

Driftwood on the silent shore<br />

Laughter from an open door.<br />

Friendly faces once again<br />

Come inside before it starts to rain.]<br />

<br />

Summer days all float downstream,<br />

Wondering where the day has been<br />

Boats that sail away at night<br />

Come the day have sailed far out of sight.
