Saw Doctors Exhilarating Sadness
You were sitting in a cafe
At a table by the juke-box
Making cups of coffee last for years
You never heard the fanfare
Never saw the sunshine smiling
And the summer slipped in unnoticed
From beneath your tears
The pounding big bass rhythm
Shook the room, shook your little heart
All the talk that whistled through you ears
You were minding you own business
But you were everybody else's
And the summer slipped in unnoticed
From beneath your tears
Time flew by
You moved on
The Shop Street days are long since gone
All of the laughter
and all of the tears
I still see your likeness through the years
All the girls around you
Were captured by your presence
Your lucid features admired and revered
Deep in your eyes I recognised
Exhilarating sadness
And the summer slipped out unnoticed
From beneath your tears.
