about

The romance of the waterways. A summer afloat. An exploding bridge. An illicit love affair. It's no picnic in the park.

lyrics

The warm, caressing breeze
Slipped through the
Overhanging trees
In the city of our days
Across its dancing waterways

Now it's gone, now it's past
We were there, it didn't last
Footpath jogging in the dark
You found me sleeping in the park

It happened so fast

Live all summer long
On the canal
Her dragon song

Barge of red and gold
My unicorn
You don't get old

Drift again downstream
In the power
Of a dream

Ripples of the sun
River fun
We'd just begun

Happy, bright and blue
Like all the children at the zoo
The city wrapped us in its arms
Revealed its warm forbidden charms

Now we're gone, we are the past
We're not there, we didn't last
Boozy picnic by the lake
They said they did it for your sake

We went far too fast

Live all summer long
On the canal
Her dragon song

Barge of red and gold
My unicorn
You won't get old

Drift again downstream
The fading glow
Of a dream

Ripples of the sun
We thought we'd won
We'd just begun

And the bridge by the park
We blew it up in the dark

Live all summer long
On the canal
Her dragon song

Barge of red and gold
My unicorn
You can't get old

Drift again downstream
The fading power
Of a dream

Ripples of the sun
On the run
We'd just begun
