One eye on the clock - one in the mirror, how many summers have I got left?
Ten Good Summers
Lyrics by Mick Evans
One eye on the clock - one in the mirror
how many summers have I got left?
this skin is wearing thin
gotta reach my dreams before I rest
I’ll fly away - when my time is done
Give me ten good summers
wanna dance in the setting sun
till my last breath is gone
till my last tale is spun -
Give me ten good summers
I won’t stop till this race is run
before I move on - before I move on
just give me ten good summers - in the sun
Last rays of the day - first light tomorrow
this fire keeps burning inside so strong
takes me back - sun on my face
the air tastes sweeter as days roll on
I’ll fly away - when my time is done
Give me ten good summers
wanna dance in the setting sun
till my last breath is gone
till my last tale is spun -
Give me ten good summers
I won’t stop till this race is run
before I move on - before I move on
just give me ten good summers - in the sun
Hey partner - have you seen the time?
got a rendez-vous
with some old friends of mine -
gotta sing ‘I love you’ one more time -
hey - have you seen the time?
Give me ten good summers
wanna dance in the setting sun
till my last breath is gone
till my last tale is spun -
Give me ten good summers
I won’t stop till this race is run
before I move on - before I move on
just give me ten good summers - in the sun
