I tried to walk the line
And nothing I could do or say
And the darkness fell all over town
And you'd only beat me anyway
It's funny how I would have stayed
And I think I may have lost my mind
And then the rain came down
I think I fell in love that time
And see there's a full moon over London Town
And though I think I fell that time
Hoped everything would turn out fine
Could make the coldness go away
And sparkled the signs of the underground
On the last day
I must have sung a million songs
And though you said you were a friend of mine
But that's not what I had in mind
But I lost the reasons and the rhymes
I think I was away the day
When you said you were too smart to play
But all the words just came out wrong
Oh, the days were hot and the nights were long
And then the rain came down
And you said you were a friend of mine
I think I fell in love back there
Hoped everything would turn out fine
On the last day of summer
I tried to walk the line
And the darkness fell all over town
On the last day
On the last day
And sparkled the signs of the underground
But all I wanted was a sign
I never felt that way inclined
I think you broke my heart that day
On the last day of summer
The winter changes everything
I was flesh and blood and grit and slime
But I think I fell in love
I wonder will you think of me when you look up
I think I dropped my guard that time
On the last day of summer
On the last day
And you'll never know how much I cared
On the last day of summer
And the raindrops freeze on the signs of the underground
It was tooth and nail it was bones and hair
It was not the only fault of mine
That time on the last day
