lyrics (c) 1996 Jonathan Caws-Elwitt
Chilly morning, raincoats on
Youthfully we smile at dawn
Days not easy, nights divine
Weekends that just float in time
Weekend time
This is where we need to be
The wading pool, the edge of the sea
Gawky still and out of breath
But these are the times we'll remember best
Awake, we're scrambling for our sun
Three Aprils to go before I hear your summer laughter
Three soft Mays in a row, and then it's June forever after
Squinting our eyes, tearing our jeans
Running through meadows of purples and greens
Fumbling our way through three soft Mays in a row together
Every day, when you're in love
It's no trouble waking up
And it's okay to work quite hard
Building the things of high regard
Alive, we're scrambling for our sun
Holding our hats, rolling our sleeves
Flying past sunsets you wouldn't believe
