Last Day Of Summer Lyrics - All I Ever Wanted: The Anthology - Kirsty Maccoll

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
