Last Day Of Summer

Kirsty MacColl · Titanic Days [2009]

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 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
