British Summertime
(Indisponível)
Leaving at dawn to beat the traffic, do you remember that too?
Curled asleep on the back seat, do you remember that too? the
Soundless dark, the empty road, do you remember that too? and
That child asleep, only eight years old, do you recognise as
You?
June, july, september, stretched ahead and out of view. the
Whole world seemed a safe place, and never ending too. but it
Was never as simple as you thought, there were just things you
Never knew, and up ahead your parents bore the weight of all
Their worries and yours too.
Windows down on the coast road, wanting to be first to see the
Sea. the whole world seemed a safe place, temporarily. but it
Was never as simple as you thought, and you found out as you
Grew, that up ahead your parents had borne the weight of all
Their worries and yours too. all their worries and yours too.
