Lyrics

I Don't Like the Look of Summer

Verse 1

The summer sun is shining
But my heart's a Frigidaire
Cos you're not here beside me
It's more than I can bear
Nothing seems worthwhile now
The heat just leaves me cold
You were my only sunshine
But I could never have foretold

That I wouldn't like the look of summer
Cos you're so far away
And though the sun is shining bright
This life is dull and gray


CHORUS

Two of us standing on the edge of goodbye
No bridge to walk over just the tears in my eyes
The laughter was gone and we were all out of words
It happened in summer

Verse 2

It's cool to pass on winter
Summer's what is hot
But all alone without you, babe
A cold heart is all I've got
Though the sun is flying high in the sky
And the weather sure is nice
This lonely love-struck girl
Just keeps her heart on ice


Now I don't like the look of summer
Cos you're so far away
And though the sun is shining bright
My life is dull and gray


CHORUS/

Two of us standing on the edge of goodbye
No bridge to walk over just the tears in my eyes
The laughter was gone and we were all out of words
It happened in summer

(Instrumental)

Outro

Two of us standing on the edge of goodbye
No bridge to walk over just the tears in my eyes
The laughter was gone and we were all out of words
It happened in summer

Now you are away I know I got to keep trying
To keep our love alive, to stop it from dying
But the silence just screams over the sound of my heart
It happened in summer

It happened in Summer
It happened in Summer
