Summer Night

(Bill Morrissey) You've traveled the river From end to end Never found a true love Anywhere you've been Never broke a heart That wouldn't mend On such a lovely summer night Hands in your pockets As the band begins Stand by the window A touch of locust in the wind This might be just one more town You'll say you've been in On such a lovely summer night You take your chances When you start to roam Waiting for slow dances Then you ask to walk her home And if she says, Please stay You'll say, I might On such a lovely summer night You hold her close, yeah Look her in the eye You make her laugh Then sing that one song to make her cry And maybe this is that one town Where there's no goodbye You take your chances When you start to roam Waiting for slow dances Then you ask to walk her home And if she says, Please stay You'll say, I might On such a lovely summer night
