Strawbs version
|
|
The dancing plants grow low
|
Burning embers start to glow
|
The pictures soon will fade
|
Pictures that the flames have made
|
Your hazy, wistful face
|
Suddenly is gone without a trace
|
|
Chorus
|
Summer days I'll float downstream
|
Wondering where the day has been
|
Boats that sail away at night
|
Come the day
|
Have sailed far out of sight
|
Reminiscing summer walks
|
Empty glances, moonlit talks
|
Candyfloss and ice-cream cones
|
Discotheques and Rolling Stones
|
Passing fancies fly away
|
Empty shadows on a sunlit bay
|
|
(2x Chorus)
|
|
Fotheringay version
|
|
The dancing flames grow low
|
Burning embers start to glow
|
The pictures soon will fade
|
Pictures that the flames have made
|
Your hazy, wistful face
|
Suddenly is gone without a trace
|
|
Reminiscing summer walks
|
Empty glances, moonlit talks
|
Promises that mean so much
|
Broken with a single touch
|
Passing fancies fly away
|
Painting shadows on the sunlit bay
|
|
Chorus
|
Summer days I'll float downstream
|
Wondering where the day has been
|
Boats that sail away at night
|
Come the dawn
|
Have sailed far out of sight
|
Deserted evening warm and still
|
Strangers come and go at will
|
Driftwood on the silent shore
|
Laughter from an open door
|
Friendly faces once again
|
Come inside before it starts to rain
|
|
(Chorus)
|
