Lyrics Summer's Not The Same Without You - James Yorkston

Summer's Not The Same Without You

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?
