Lyrics

Beautiful Summer

We met in the fall, American autumn
Sister and brother, twins of a soul
We had a love that was strange at the time
Stronger than evil, it was darker than, darker than the night

Beautiful summer
Summer of love
She was my lover
Love, she is gone

Love is a drug, love is a demon
Love is a curse, sexy as sin
Oh, lovers are murderers who want to steal your soul
Oh, lovers are murderers who want to keep, who want to kill your soul

Beautiful summer
Summer of love
She was my lover
Now she is gone away too soon

I fell like a child, into her arms
Down to her underworld, drownin' in her storms
The cities of violence are sad, sick, concrete souls
Explodin' in ecstasies of love and sex, no fear of death anymore

Beautiful summer
Summer of love
She was my lover
Now she is gone

Beautiful summer
Summer of love
She was my lover
Now she is gone away too soon
