The Summer Nights

I should have stayed on the summer nights,

I should have stayed that balmy night,

But so I called misfortune on my behalf,

I sat, and watched the memories;

I sat and watched on your behalf.

I should have stayed on the summer nights

I should have stayed that balmy night.

Overcoming was the procaine in your words.

The sun had set, the sun was lost;

With the taste of champagne your vision blurred.

I should have stayed on the summer nights

I should have stayed that balmy night

But so my intelligence was left behind.

I sat and watched the stars,

I watched the memories left behind.
