we made our way slowly down the path that led to the stream
swaying slightly, drunk on the sun, I suppose
it was a real summer's day, the air humming with heat
whilst the trees beckoned us into their cool green shade
and when we reached the stream
I put a bottle of cider into the water to chill
both of us knowing that we'd drink it long before it had the chance

this is where you want to be
there's nothing else but you and her
and how you spend your time

walking to parties whilst it's still light outside
peter was upset at first but now he's in the garden
talking to somebody polish
why don't we set up a tent and spend the night out there?
and we can pretend that we're somewhere foreign
but we'll still be able to use the fridge
if we get hungry, or too hot

this is where you want to be
there's nothing else but you and her
and how you use your time

we went driving...

this is where you want to be
there's nothing else but you and her
and how you use your time

the room smells faintly of sun-tan lotion
in the evening sunlight and when you take off your clothes
you're still wearing a small pale skin bikini
the sound of children playing in the park comes from far away
and time slows down to the speed of the specks of dust
floating in the light from the window

summer leaves fall from summer trees
summer grazes fade on summer knees
summer nights are slowly getting long
summer's going, so hurry, soon it'll be gone

so we went out to the park at midnight one last time
past the abandoned glass-house stuffed full of dying palms
past the bandstand down to the boating lake
and we swam in the moonlight for what seemed like hours
until we couldn't swim anymore
and as we came out of the water
we sensed a certain movement in the air
and we both shivered slightly and ran to collect our clothes
and as we walked home we could hear the leaves
curling and turning brown on the trees
and the birds deciding where to go for winter

and the whole sound, the whole sound of summer
packing its bags and preparing to leave town
oh, but I want you to stay
oh, please stay for a while
oh, I want you to stay
oh, I want you to stay
