Summer

Leaves blowing gently
On this hot summer day
No time to enjoy it
I've got bill to pay
Broken heart on the phone
Clinging desperately to hope
"Please don't leave me"
How can I cope?
Brand new love
Growing stonger every day
Leaving me breathless 
As he sweeps me away
Mother and brother
Slowly sinking down
Deep into their bottles
Slowly sinking down
Moldy old house
Not fit to live in
Landlord promises help
But he just won't give in
Leaves blowing gently 
In their lazy summer way
Still got no time
Same story different day
