Stacey Kent - The Summer We Crossed Europe In the Rain lyrics

You say it’s the way these
Passing years have treated you
That the weight of the dreams you
Once carried has now defeated you
That our candlelit dinners will all
Just be reheated through
Our quarrels and disappointments just
Get repeated too

Well I’ve packed our bags
I know I should have consulted you
But pretending to bargain would
Have only insulted you so do just as I say
We’ll go away today
The fire still burns whatever you may claim

Let’s be young again, if only for the weekend
Let’s be fools again
Let’s fall in at the deep end
Let’s do once more
All those things we did before
The summer we crossed Europe in the rain

Remember that hotel, the crooked balcony door
From where we stood and watched
The market in the downpour?
Sharing warm baguettes
On sunny cathedral steps
Dancing the tango, waiting for our train

Let’s be young again, if only for the weekend
Let’s be fools again
Let’s fall in at the deep end
Let’s do once more
All those things we did before
The summer we crossed Europe in the rain
