lyrics

Yesterday was the last day of summer
no more sitting on the steps with you
the evening sky has gone to bed forever
the yellow moon is fading out of you

If you don’t know by now
if you don’t know by now
you’ll never know it

If you don’t know by now
if you don’t know by now

Today’s the first day of autumn
the trees have changed
and the wind don’t feel the same
the fires have scorched
the hillside’s green to ochre
all because of the weather
the weatherman couldn’t explain

If you don’t know by now
if you don’t know by now
you’ll never know it

If you don’t know by now
if you don’t know by now

This was the season I started swimming
I was clinging close to the coast it’s true
and I made up some melancholy reason
I was testing out my feelings for you

If you don’t know by now
if you don’t know by now
you’ll never know it

If you don’t know by now
if you don’t know by now

We’ll never understand it
nothing ever turns out
like we planned it
like we planned it...

Never understand it...
we’ll never understand it

If you don’t know by now
sitting on the steps
the last day of summer
clinging to the coast
the last day of summer
how can I forget
the last day of summer
Sitting on the steps
the last day of summer
clinging to the coast
the last day of summer
how can I forget
the last day of summer

Looking in your eyes
I saw the sunrise

I remember
sitting on the steps with you
sitting on the steps with you
Dun Laoghaire summer 95
looking in your eyes
watching the sun go down

I was looking in your eyes
saw the sunrise
sunrise

Watching the sun go down
sitting on the steps with you
watching the sun go down
sitting on the steps with you
looking in your eyes
I saw the sunrise
on the last day of summer
