The day was sun and summerlight She said, I don't know if it's right And through the silence of the room her words like hungry sea-gulls flew And the day was sun and summerlight She said, it's been so long so long How can I care ‘bout right or wrong And in the shadow of her hair I couldn't think, I did not care And the day was sun and summerlight
Beneath the burning summersun she whispered, I still miss someone With naked hands she took my mind Wiped off the dust from roads and time And the day was sun and summerlight The sun went slowly down in haze The cool of evening kissed the day My words came to her with the breeze Farewell my love, now I must leave And that day was sun and summerlight
