Summer's Not The Same Without You - James Yorkston

Summer isn’t the same without you it’s a bitter old cliché but I miss your

laughter at the start of spring and I miss your company at the end of day

Summer isn’t the same without you I miss your cunning claws as you bat me away

as I teased you into striking my face red raw but smiling

And the key to it all is the love that we seek but love it can fray it can come

awry

Summer isn’t the same without you I hear you singing in the corridor early morn

whilst the rest of the house was asleep you brewed green tea and you scoured

the garden for fallen chestnut wings

Summer isn’t the same without you I miss your short skirted dignity you put me

in my place and that’s exactly where I needed to be

And the key to it all is the love that we seek but love it can fray it can come

awry

And is life about to get complicated one more time?

Girl you wipe your bonny eyes girl you keep your strength you’re laughing

through the tears and now I love you more than ever

The magpie chased our speckled cat off the wall and I called for revenge you

threw a rock you dislodged its nest and summer isn’t the same without you

And the key to it all is the love that we seek but love it can fray it can come

awry

And the key to it all is the love that we seek but love it can fray it can come

awry

And is life about to get complicated one last time?
