I remember her sleeping
Reaching hands for balloons
Floating like yesterday
When we danced in our bedrooms
And taking ourselves to the heights
Writhing a course through the birds and the floodlights
If only you'd seen us
and the beauty between us

An invasion of light
Lit the carpet of bliss
And we moved like we were one
When she blew us that kiss
Swooned like a full moon
I remembered the cheers
Drinking the brew of this freedom
We'd been thirsting for years

Now the hand I was holding
Disappears from my view
Stolen ground - now I'm falling
Back to Earth without you.........

Now we're stacking stems
Like a forest of felled dreams
The petals lay silent
Whilst Manchester screams
Their scent like the river below
Touches all in its path as it flows
Tells them all they'll go on
With your words and our song

Summertime, there's things to grow
But winds will come to push the Sun back down below

We recall glazing eyes
Crowned her head with our joy
Not one evil intent
So to seek and destroy?
It took a shock wave to lift us
From that stage to this rage
From that plateau of pleasure
To the crap in this cage
Well there's no clear comprehension
We ain't thinking 'bout hate
We met the day bright and shining
We didn't want to be late

But the hands we were holding
Slips away like the dew
Stolen ground - cause' we're falling
Back to Earth without you.........

Summertime, there's things to grow
But winds will come to push the Sun back down below
Summertime, there's things to grow
But winds will come to push the Sun back down below
Summertime, there's things to know
But winds will come to push the Sun back down below, below, below!

Summertime, there's things to know
But winds will come to push the Sun back down below, below, below!
