Summer stretching on the grass
|
Summer dresses pass
|
In the shade of a willow tree
|
Creeps a crawling over me
|
|
|
Over me and over you
|
Stuck together with God's glue
|
It's going to get stickier too
|
It's been a long hot summer
|
Let's get under cover
|
Don't try too hard to think
|
Don't think at all
|
|
|
I'm not the only one
|
Staring at the sun
|
Afraid of what you'd find
|
If you took a look inside
|
|
|
I'm not just deaf and dumb
|
Staring at the sun
|
Not the only one
|
Who's happy to go blind
|
|
|
There's an insect in your ear
|
If you scratch it won't disappear
|
It's going to itch and burn and sting
|
You want to see what the scratching brings
|
|
|
Waves that leave me out of reach
|
Breaking on your back like a beach
|
Will we ever live in peace
|
'Cause those that can't do
|
Often have to
|
And those that can't do
|
Often have to preach
|
|
|
Intransigence is all around
|
Military still in town
|
Armour plated suits and ties
|
Daddy just won't say goodbye
|
|
|
Referee won't blow the whistle
|
God is good but will He listen
|
I'm nearly great
|
But there's something missing
|
I left it in the duty free
|
But you never really belonged to me
|
|
|
You're not the only one
|
Staring at the sun
|
Afraid of what you'd find
|
If you stepped back inside
|
|
|
I'm not sucking on my thumb
|
I'm staring at the sun
|
Not the only one
|
Who's happy to go blind
|
|
|
You're not the only one
|
Staring at the sun
|
Afraid of what you'd find
|
If you stepped back inside
|
|
|
I'm not sucking on my thumb
|
I'm staring at the sun
|
Not the only one
|
Who's happy to go blind
|
|
|
Sun... I'm not the only one
|
Who's happy to go blind...
