Lyrics A Summer Tamarind - Martin Newell

A Summer Tamarind

She took a deep breath
And made a wish list
She had a sweet tooth
She got some ginger
A little cinnamon
And squeezed the lime juice
That’s how it went
Yakking in the kitchen
With a female friend
At ten to ten
Wondering what it was
She was missing again
A summer tamarind
A summer tamarind
And with the lights lit
Along the shoreline
And the guitars out
Like any pop wife
She’d had a shop life
With all the stars out
That’s how it rang
Standing on the beach
With the sturm and drang
At midnight five
Feeling like the
Place was coming alive
A summer tamarind
A summer tamarind
And here come the high
Clouds of summer
Chasing their tails in July
They don’t understand when
The waves leave the sand
It’s goodbye
Always goodbye
A summer tamarind
A summer tamarind
