Exhilarating Sdaness - The Saw Doctors

You were sitting in a cafe

At a table by the juke-box

Making cups of coffee last for years

You never heard the fanfare

Never saw the sunshine smiling

And the summer slipped in unnoticed

From beneath your tears

The pounding big bass rhythm

Shook the room, shook your little heart

All the talk that whistled through you ears

You were minding you own business

But you were everybody else’s

And the summer slipped in unnoticed

From beneath your tears

Time flew by You moved on The Shop Street days are long since gone

All of the laughter

and all of the tears

I still see your likeness through the years

All the girls around you

Were captured by your presence

Your lucid features admired and revered

Deep in your eyes I recognised

Exhilarating sadness

And the summer slipped out unnoticed

From beneath your tears.
