| Chorus: |
I can still recall our lost summer. Not much fun at all. Dared not take a train. Handshakes were insane. Our lost summer. No need to explain. |
We made our way along the river
Side by side on separate banks
At my own insistence.
You all remember what I mean:
It was the age of quarantine.
Aw, crap.
Those crazy months, that was the time
Of the social distance.
And underneath...
We felt, at least we’re trying.
We feared the old
And the asthmatic dying
Why take a chance
Just for one barbecue or dance?
| Chorus: |
I can still recall our lost summer. Not much fun at all. No more tourist jam Round the Notre Dame Our lost summer Always washing hands |
Takeout restaurants.
Our lost summer.
Toilet paper hunts.
Living day by day,
Freedom far away.
Our lost summer:
Stuck at home to stay.
And now you’re working as a shrink,
A Broadway fan, piano man,
And you’re getting married.
How strange it seems (now):
Those things weren’t always done on screens.
I can still recall our lost summer.
Not much fun at all.
Dared not take a train.
Handshakes were insane.
Our lost summer.
No need to explain.
