Your beauty took my breath away
In awe all day
Your company was so relaxing
Easy going ways
We saw the first signs of summer and springtime change
Walking barefoot along the sand
I hadn't planned to stay
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
It'll be sad my friend
To see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
You are broke all summer
But you still sing
Don't need money when it's sunny
Don't need anything
Just need music and sun and laughter
And no currency
The sun on your bare shoulders
Comes for free
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
It'll be sad my friend
To see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
Why can't we just design
To live like this all the time
Why can't we just quit
Sand ran through my fingers
And the land was hot
Anointed by Apollo
And his chariot
Disarmed by your charm
That night I felt it again
Addictive and consuming
Love's sweet pain
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
It'll be sad my friend
To see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
Our days are as the wind blows us
We are free
You've a quiet love out of town
Of coastal ease
The wind it has no pattern
We take life slow
And when the night has fallen
Out cups overflows
When the summer's gone
And the room is cold
When you're looking at the rain
And it just won't go
Remember when the sun was high
Up above
Remember when the days were long
And we were in love
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
It'll be sad my friend
To see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
Why can't we just design
To live like this all the time
Why can't we just quit
In awe all day
Your company was so relaxing
Easy going ways
We saw the first signs of summer and springtime change
Walking barefoot along the sand
I hadn't planned to stay
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
It'll be sad my friend
To see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
You are broke all summer
But you still sing
Don't need money when it's sunny
Don't need anything
Just need music and sun and laughter
And no currency
The sun on your bare shoulders
Comes for free
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
It'll be sad my friend
To see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
Why can't we just design
To live like this all the time
Why can't we just quit
Sand ran through my fingers

To live like this all the time
Why can't we just quit

''We are as The wind blows us
We are free
You've a quiet life out of town
Of coastal ease
And the wind it has no pattern
We take life slow
And when the night has fallen
Our cup overflows
When The summer's gone and the room is cold
When you're looking at the rain and it just won't go
Remember when the sun was high up above
Remember when the days were long
And we were in love.''
Bittersweet and beautiful it makes me cry when I hear it 'cos I'm such a sentimental fool.
I think the meaning is clear, the memories of a summer, the lamenting of the passing of the seasons, and the best times of your life that you will never have again, and can never be replaced. Tim is a God.
Tim is one of the best songwriter ever..
"Remember when the days were long
And we were in love "
During winter you can just remember how life is beautiful..
Bye
it's definitely a song i relate to, and yeah, it's happy with a tinge of longing and sadness, I guess. makes me miss someone SO MUCH, while at the same time making me happy just to relive so many great memories.
"why can't we just design to live like this all the time?"
if only life were that simple...
