Summer

Ooh wah, ooh wah Summer love, summer love We were sixteen above the street Ooh wah Bare feet rocking to the radio beat Dum dum, ooh wah Your radio leaned on the rusty rail Turn it low Hot brick breathing through the summer air Ooh wah, summer air One cherry soda, two paper straws Sweet and slow We had no future, we had no flaws Young love, young love The whole town slept below our feet Sleep on, sleep on You held my hand above the heat Hold on, hold on Fire escape summer, stay in my mind Stay in her mind Fire escape summer, sweet as july Sweet as july We had one dime and all the time Ooh wah, all the time Fire escape summer, first love of mine First love of mine I passed that building yesterday Ooh wah The corner shop had moved away Gone away The iron steps wore a coat of brown Time rolls on No little radio sang over town No song, no song I touched the rail where you carved our names Remember when The letters were faint, but i felt the same Ooh wah, felt the same A grown woman's heart can understand Understand First love fades, but its mark will stand Hold on, hold on Fire escape summer, stay in my mind Stay in her mind Fire escape summer, sweet as july Sweet as july We had one dime and all the time Ooh wah, all the time Fire escape summer, first love of mine First love of mine I did not lose you when september came No she didn't I carried your kindness farther than your name Ooh wah It taught this grown heart what love should be Kind and true That summer still keeps a light in me Shine on, shine on One warm rail, one radio tune Ooh wah, ooh wah Two young hearts beneath the moon Summer love Fire escape summer, stay in my mind Stay in her mind Fire escape summer, sweet as july Sweet as july We had one dime and all the time Ooh wah, all the time Fire escape summer, first love of mine First love of mine Ooh wah, ooh wah The street grew small beneath my eyes Summer love, summer love I walked on smiling into july Ooh wah, goodbye
