Our Last Summer

Munchkin, as promised, our last summer - 21/6/2008

The summer air was soft and warm
The feeling right, the Newcastle night
Did its best to please us

And strolling down the Northumberland

We had a drink in each cafe

And you You talked of politics, philosophy and

I Smiled like Mona Lisa

We had our chance

It was a fine and true romance

I can still recall our last summer
I still see it all
Walks along the Tyne, laughing in the rain
Our last summer
Memories that remain
We made our way along the Tyne

And we sat down in the grass

By the Newcastle tower

I was so happy we had met

It was the age of no regret

Oh yes

Those crazy years,

that was the time

Of the flower-power

But underneath we had a fear of flying

Of getting old, a fear of slowly dying

We took the chance Like we were dancing our last dance

I can still recall our last summer

I still see it all
In the tourist jam,

round the River Bend

Our last summer
Walking hand in hand
Newcastle restaurants

Our last summer Morning croissants

Living for the day, worries far away

Our last summer

We could laugh and play

And now you're working as a scientist

The man that I miss, a violinist

And your name is Munchkin
How dull it seems
Yet you're the hero of my dream
