Summer Song (Wishing You Were Here)

[Verse 1]

Everybody needs a by the sea affair

Where you get the urge from something in the air

Helter Skelter on a mat "Kiss me Quick" is on my hat

And you do it on the ghost train for a dare

[Chorus]

Wishing you were here, same as every year

'cos our summer madness is too short

Wishing you were here, where the sunshine's near

Is it true that wishes can be bought?

[Verse 2]

Everybody needs the moonlight on the beach

Where the water's cold and no one hears you screech

Getting buried in the sand what you holding in your hand

Let it go or else I'll keep it out of reach

[Chorus]

Wishing you were here, same as every year

'cos our summer madness is too short

Wishing you were here, where the sunshine's near

Is it true that wishes can be bought?

[Bridge]

The last night you dressed to kill

Will you write? You say you will

Sometimes hopes just drift away

[Verse 3]

Everybody needs to have a sea romance

When the world around just doesn't stand a chance

Candy floss stuck on your nose, and your donkey's name was Rose

What's this cheek to cheek in every single dance?

[Chorus]

Wishing you were here, same as every year

'cos our summer madness is too short

Wishing you were here, where the sunshine's near

Is it true that wishes can be bought?
