lyrics

Waiting for the blackberries of summer
Waiting for the blackberries to grow
No this year we won't make a crumble
Cos you don't come round here anymore

Waiting for the thunder to rumble above us
Waiting for the lightning to light up our rooms
Knowing this year it won't light us up together
Because you won't be coming round too soon

Oh another summer
Waiting for
Something to happen
To me that isn't you

Oh another summer
Waiting for
Something to happen
To me that isn't you

Waiting for the summer grass to turn brown
Waiting for the funfair to roll into town
Waiting for the summer rain to stop humming around us
Waiting for the summer air to fill with sounds

Oh another summer
Waiting for
Something to happen
To me that isn't you

Oh another summer
Waiting for
Something to happen
To me that isn't you

Waiting for the full moon to come round again
Waiting for the tide to go out
Waiting for the storm to blow us down
Waiting for the canal to flood us out
Waiting for the sea to drown us out
Waiting for the wind to blow us down
