Summer Hot As This

Sun is perching on my office block.

The air conditioning's run away.

No one dares to swim the street below

while the world's a ball of baking clay.

Never knew a summer hot as this before.

I never knew a summer burn me through.

Never knew a summer hot as this before.

But then I never knew you.

Bed is drowning me in sheets of fire.

What are you doing in my dreams?

I'm usually immune to August heat

but you're reducing me to tiny streams.

Never knew a summer hot as this before.

I never knew a summer burn me through.

Never knew a summer hot as this before.

But then I never knew you.

You melt me down enough to fill a coffee cup

and what I've found is that I spend all day dreaming that you'll drink me up.

Never knew a summer hot as this before.

I never knew a summer burn me through.

Never knew a summer hot as this before.

But then I never knew you.

Never knew a summer hot as this before.

I never knew a summer burn me through.

Never knew a summer hot as this before.

But then I never knew you.
