Intro - E E/Eb A Ax2
Summer, it came
like a light across the highlands
and we laid it down.
You wore a dress
made of light from the islands
and we sent postcards home.
In dying light
this was not to be forgotten
cause we are the chosen few.
Into the sea with the touch of softest cotton
Beneath this angel moon
Its been keeping me awake
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
and Im not so strong
to be satisfied by all the things Ive done
and the things it threw away.
D-4p2-4p2-4p2---------------------------|
A-------------4p2-----------------------|
You wrote your name
as we lay among the heather.
What you left behind
Following paths that would lead us both together
Let us lose our minds
Its been keeping me awake
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
and Im not so strong
to be satisfied by all the things Ive done
and the things it threw away.
D-4p2-4p2-4p2---------------------------|
A-------------4p2-----------------------|
Summer, it fell
and it coursed across the highlands
and so quickly gone.
Your faded dress for years now tied away and silent
and the nights late lullaby
Its been keeping me awake
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
and Im not so strong
to be satisfied by all the things Ive done
and the things it threw away.
by all the things it threw away.
By all the things it threw away
By all the things it threw away
By all the things it threw away
End on E
