Sumer Sadness, the end is in sight
No seaside seashire moments
Waves too crashing, crushing my hopes
Cold pebbles invading my heart…
Heavy, tugging at my mind.
The ocean is full of you, you see,
That first plunge in May taking my breath away
Clear blue water, clear blue sky,
A picnic, two books, two smiles,
How simple it all was…
I couldnt go this year
Couldnt paddle and skip in the foaming edges
Of our broken love affair
Turn pebbles over in my palms…
Who would I show them to?
Who would ask me what I am reading?
Camping like naughtly children,
Giggling as we burn eggs over our primus
Cuddling under the setting sun…
This Summer you didnt appear
Bobbing on the surface of my life
Diving into my deepest hopes.
You kept your distance so I kept mine,
Leaving the coast behind for everyone else…
Brief glimpses over my shoulder,
Too bright, too sharp in the sun,
Taking my mind inland for a while.
