[Banjo and accordion intro] Verse 1 The fire in the sky burned red that night, We danced by the waves ‘til the morning light. Your laughter roared like a drunken song, The summer was wild, and the nights were long. Verse 2 Salt on your lips, and the taste of gin, We stumbled through streets with the devil’s grin. Your hand in mine, and the world stood still, A fleeting desire, but it gave me a thrill. Pre-Chorus And I don’t care if it fades away, For I still feel your touch today. Chorus A passionate summer with you, my dear, The songs we screamed, the stolen beer. The reckless nights, the burning skies, A fleeting love that never dies. [Instrumental by cello and duduk] Verse 3 The tavern shook with the fiddles loud, We lost ourselves in the roaring crowd. Your eyes were fire, your soul was free, For one short season, you belonged to me. Bridge The autumn came, and we said goodbye, But still I see you in the amber sky. Though seasons change, and the years fly fast, The summer we had will forever last. Chorus A passionate summer with you, my dear, The songs we screamed, the stolen beer. The reckless nights, the burning skies, A fleeting love that never dies. [Slowing down with accordion and cello] Outro So raise your glass to the nights we knew, A passionate summer I spent with you.
