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 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
|
