Summer Girls — текст песни (Ralph McTell)

This summer will be different I will move across the town
Promenade above the beach until my face turns brown
With my hands in my pockets and a casual stroll from the town beach to the dock
The girls they walk in two`s and three`s, their pretty cotton frocks teased by the breeze.
And I will find a long-limbed summer girl for me.

I will assume the accent of some Yankee sailor boy
Stranded between merchant ships with some time to enjoy.
A week or two down by the bay with tupp`ney ice-cream cones
And petticoats and sandy kisses, breasts smooth as stones washed by the sea
And I will find a long-limbed summer girl for me.

And her name will be Pam or Ruth, so I`ll be Chuck or Wayne,
And we will know and love each other, then I will explain
Why I haven`t found a ship and that I live in town
Before we share that cigarette, in waves of love, we`ll drown down by the sea,
My long-limbed salt-teared summer girl and me.

She won`t cry for my leaving, she will cry because I stay
She will cry for my deceiving that we can meet every day
This love affair it grew so strong because we`d have to part,
And now we will do anyway and she will take my heart and I`ll be free
To find another summer girl who`ll give it back to me.
