Do You Remember

Do you remember? The summer We sold strawberry tarts on the front wall Tie dying our lives in the backyard And the neighbours rolled their eyes And we didn't care atall. And it arrived like a freight train in April And left like a mouse in September Do you remember? Do you remember? And we kissed in the rain in October We couldn't believe it was over But it was over Do you remember? The summer Our best friends were the bluebirds Because they took us back to the sea-side Where we ate ice-cream like it was water Where we took our hearts right off our sleeves Let them wash away in the tide And it arrived like a freight train in April And left like a mouse in September Do you remember? Do you remember? And we kissed in the rain in October We couldn't believe it was over But it was over Do you remember? Kiss me like you did in October We can pretend that it isn't over Do you remember? I know that you remember.
