Two Weeks Last Summer Lyrics - All Our Own Work - Sandy Denny

The dancing flames grow low 

Burning embers start to glow 

Pictures soon will fade 

Pictures that the flames have made 

Your hazy wistful face 

Suddenly is gone without a trace. 

Summer days all float downstream, 

Wondering where the day has been 

Boats that sail away at night 

Come the day have sailed far out of sight. 

Reminiscing, summer walks 

Empty glances, moonlit talks 

[Promises that mean so much 

Broken with a single touch/ 

Candy floss and ice cream cones 

Discotheques and Rolling Stones] 

Passing fancies fly away 

Empty shadows on a sunlit bay. 

Summer days all [I] float downstream, 

Wondering where the day has been 

Boats that sail away at night 

Come the day have sailed far out of sight. 

[Deserted evenings warm and still 

Strangers come and go at will 

Driftwood on the silent shore 

Laughter from an open door. 

Friendly faces once again 

Come inside before it starts to rain.] 

Summer days all float downstream, 

Wondering where the day has been 

Boats that sail away at night 

Come the day have sailed far out of sight.
