Watched the sky as it collapsed last night
Pink and purple in the fading light
Love this town just like I love your smile
I’ll be living here until I die
Heard the fireworks going off outside
It’s not even the fourth of July
Little things remind me of those times
Waiting breathless for you to arrive
Spread mementos all across the floor
Got cold comfort but we want some more
Summer lingers for a day or two
All the music and the thoughts of you
Happiness is just outside the door
Things aren’t quite the way they were before
Oh nostalgia you’re a fickle thing
Fill me up before it’s time to leave
Why’d that song go off and make me cry
See the landscape through these blurry eyes
Spread mementos all across the floor
Got cold comfort but we want some more
All these days just floating past our eyes
Loved and lost and told the truth and lied

@fonte thank you for making my week. Yes, I can't think of a bigger compliment than being compared to Prince! Thank you!

Oooooohhhh I LOVE this! What cool chords! And killer melody. Ok ok. Wait for it. You know who this reminds me of? Prince! Yes! Prince! Which trust me is about as big a compliment as I can give. Absolutely cracking chords/melody combo. Wish I’d written thissss!!!

This is simple but affecting and heartfelt - the lyrics have a nice turn of phrase to them. The little musical change towards the end works well too.
