Last Day of Summer

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
