I was alone In the boarded up streets The closed signs swung like a poem Here where the street sweepers sleep It was a hot summer I was feeling cool There was no one there knowin' I was lookin' for you Well the bars were all empty And the pavements were cracked And the river ran wild So I was fast on its track It was a hot summer I sang out of tune There was no one there knowin' I was just a fool I've got burgundy blood A tiger stone in my boot Hip flask in my pocket We could dance on the roof It was a hot summer And I'm just a fool There was no one there knowin' I was looking for you On the other side On the other side Of the wild and true sages On the other side On the other side of you ♪ Hot summer I was Just a fool I knew it right then But there was nothing to do
