The day was sun and summerlight
She said, I don't know if it's right
And through the silence of the room
her words like hungry sea-gulls flew
And the day was sun and summerlight

She said, it's been so long so long
How can I care 'bout right or wrong
And in the shadow of her hair
I couldn't think, I did not care
And the day was sun and summerlight

Beneath the burning summersun
she whispered, I still miss someone
With naked hands she took my mind
Wiped off the dust from roads and time
And the day was sun and summerlight

The sun went slowly down in haze
The cool of evening kissed the day
My words came to her with the breeze
Farewell my love, now I must leave
And that day was sun and summerlight
