on a cold
summer morning
we drove
through the mist

we drove on
and on till
we got to a desert village
near the sea

the sound of the radio
on and off and on and off
before we realised
we'd gone really far

on a cold morning
it's just natural to
kiss and
hug
i can feel it
inside my mouth
the taste of wild strawberries

la la la

on a cold
summer morning
we drove
through the mist

women
always
cry
without previous notice

summer will soon
come to an end but
