When I met you girl
I could tell there was a lot
Now I know there's so many things
That you wanted to keep
I began to recognize a shadow deep
And I know that it will always be

When I met you girl
I only wanted to get
Now I know there's so much love
You would never let
I've seen a light that burns
With the blackest flame
And I know that I will never be

Endorphins won't quell this pain
But the writing on the wall
Could make it easier to take
Hotel, motel, bed and breakfast on the shore
And you said you'd never seen
An english summer so raw

My girl now I've seen everything
And I know the way a mood can swing
These waves are turning into foam
And the crying of seagulls will lead you home
Endorphins won't quell this pain
But the writing on the wall
Could make it easier to take
Hotel, motel, bed and breakfast on the shore
And you said you'd never seen
An english summer so raw
