 Intro - E E/Eb A Ax2 
  
 E E/Eb 
 Summer, it came 
 A A 
 like a light across the highlands 
 E E/Eb A A 
 and we laid it down. 
 E E/Eb 
 You wore a dress 
 A A 
 made of light from the islands 
 E E/Eb A A 
 and we sent postcards home. 
  
 E E/Eb A A x2 
  
 E E/Eb 
 In dying light 
 A A 
 this was not to be forgotten 
 E E/Eb A A 
 ‘cause we are the chosen few. 
 E E/Eb A A 
 Into the sea with the touch of softest cotton 
 E E/Eb A A 
 Beneath this angel moon 
  
 F#m B 
 Its been keeping me awake 
 E E/Eb A A 
 Leaving this behind was my first mistake 
  
 F#m  B 
 and I’m not so strong 
 E E/Eb A A 
 to be satisfied by all the things I’ve done 
 F#m 
 and the things it threw away.

 E E/Eb A A x2 
  
 E E/Eb 
 You wrote your name 
 A A 
 as we lay among the heather. 
 E E/Eb A A 
 What you left behind 
 E E/Eb A A 
 Following paths that would lead us both together 
 E E/Eb A A 
 Let us lose our minds 
  
 F#m B 
 Its been keeping me awake 
 E E/Eb A A 
 Leaving this behind was my first mistake 
  
 F#m  B 
 and I’m not so strong 
 E E/Eb A A 
 to be satisfied by all the things I’ve done 
 F#m 
 and the things it threw away.

 E E/Eb A A x4 
  
 E E/Eb 
 Summer, it fell 
 A A 
 and it coursed across the highlands 
 E E/Eb A A 
 and so quickly gone. 
 E E/Eb A A 
 Your faded dress for years now tied away and silent 
 E E/Eb A A 
 and the night’s late lullaby 
  
 F#m B 
 Its been keeping me awake 
 E E/Eb A A 
 Leaving this behind was my first mistake 
  
 F#m  B 
 and I’m not so strong 
 E E/Eb A A 
 to be satisfied by all the things I’ve done 
 F#m 
 and the things it threw away. 
  
 E E/Eb A A 
 by all the things it threw away. 
 E E/Eb A A 
 By all the things it threw away 
 E E/Eb A A 
 By all the things it threw away 
 E E/Eb A A 
 By all the things it threw away 
  
 End on E
