lyrics

I’m miles away.
Sun lights the corners of this place.
My face,
reflecting the times there with a smile.
Meanwhile
you watch and wonder
where I am...
“A penny for them.”
you say
and I’m back
and wondering if I can let you know

I’m thinking about the times
spent drinking with Caroline.
How all through that summertime
our love slowly grew.

We’d meet in the afternoon.
Evening coming round so soon.
And under the summer moon
we swooped and flew.

Summer moved on
and though we two were moving miles apart
our hearts
would keep us together with a bond
so strong,
surely our destinies
were one...
But life can take turns
I’ve learned
and leave you
with plans turning slowly back into dreams....

and memories of the times
spent drinking with Caroline.
A bottle of Spanish wine.
The best days we’d knew.

We’d meet in the afternoon
Evening coming round so soon
and under that summer moon
we swooped and we flew.

I hope that she’s happy now
and life has been kind somehow
and led her to where she’s found
a love pure and true.

I’ll never forget those days,
brimful with naivety.
And I can leave them that way
‘cos now I have you.
