David's Last Summer Pulp
We made our way slowly down the path that led to the stream swaying
Slightly drunk on the sun I suppose
It was a real summer's day
The
Ait humming with heat whilst the trees beckoned us into their cool green
Shade
When we reached the stream I put a bottle of cider into the water
To chill both of us knowing that we'd drink it long before it had a
Chance
This is where you want to be there's nothing else but you and her
And how you use your time
Walking to parties whilst it's still light
Outside
Peter was upset at first but now he's in the garden talking to
Somebody Polish
Why don't we set up a tent and spend the night out there
And we can pretend that we're somewhere foreign but we'll still be able to
Use the fridge if we get hungry or too hot
This is where you want to
Be etc
This is where you want to be etc
The room smells faintly of
Sun tan lotion in the evening sunlight and when you take off your clothes
You're still wearing a small pale skin bikini
The sound od children
Playing in the park comes from faraway and time slows down to the speed
Of the specks of dust floating in the light of your window
Summer leaves
Fall from Summer trees
Summer grazes fade on Summer knees
Summer nights
Are slowly getting long Summer's going so hurry soon it'll be gone
So we
Went out to the park at midnight one last time
Past the abandoned
Glasshouse stuffed full or drying palms Past the bandstand down to the
Boating lake
And we swam in the moonlight for what seemed like hours
Until we couldn't swim anymore
And as we came out of the water we both
Sensed a certain movement in the air and we both shivered slightly and ran
To collect our clothes
And as we walked home we could hear the leaves
Curling and turning brown on the trees and the birds deciding where to go
For the winter
And the whole sound of Summer packing its bags as it
Prepared to leave town
Oh but I want you to stay for a while I don't
Want to live in the cold
