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.
