lyrics

Beneath the summer leaves, the end is nearing
And I believe what I'm most fearing
I think I love you but I probably don't
I think I'll miss you but I probably won't
Would you care to kiss me softly
Once or two times over coffee?
Discussing life in books and tea
Until at last, the summer's past and you're free

What have I got myself into now,
Thinking about you undressed?
Though I would never behave untrue,
My thoughts are muddled, I confess
Thinking about you undressed,
My thoughts are muddled, I confess
Is thinking untrue bad as being untrue as the rest?

Beneath the summer leaves, the end is nearing
And I believe what I'm most fearing
I think I love you but I probably don't
I think I'll miss you but I probably won't
Would you care to kiss me softly
Once or two times over coffee?
Discussing life in birds and tea
Until at last, the summer's past and you're free

I fear you captured my heart abroad
Three thousand miles from home
With wit that could scissor my brain in two
In your watercolors I roamed
Three thousand miles from home,
In your watercolors I roamed
The rain soaked me through and I mired my feet in the loam
