You were sitting in a cafe

at a table by the juke-box

Making cups of coffee last for years

You never heard the fanfare

never saw the sunshine rising

and the summer slipped in unnoticed

from beneath your tears





The pounding big bass rhythm

shook the room, shook your little heart

all the talk that whistled through your ears

You were minding your own buisness

but you were everybody elses

and the summer slipped in unnoticed

from beneath your tears



All the girls around you

were captured by your presence

your lucid features admired and revered

Deep in your eyes I recognise

exhilarating sadness

And the summer slipped in unnoticed

from beneath your tears



Time flew bye

You moved on

The shop street days are long since gone

All of the laughter

and all of the tears

I still see your likeness through the years
