Summertime withers as the sun descends
He wants to kiss you, will you condescend?
Before you wake and find a chill within your bones
Under a fine canopy of lover´s dust and humourous bones

Banish all dismay
Extinguish every sorrow

Eternity stinks, my darling, that´s no joke
Don´t waste your precious time pretending you´re heartbroken
There will be tears and candles, pretty words to say
Spare me the lily-white lily with the awful perfume of decay

Banish all dismay
Extinguish every sorrow
If I´m lost or I´m forgiven
The birds will still be singing

It´s so hard to tear myself away

Even when you know it´s over
It´s too much to say

Banish all dismay
Extinguish every sorrow
If I´m lost or I´m forgiven
The birds will still be singing
