Exhilarating Sadness

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