Summer Doesn't Last

from Duchess Edge by Chris Bicknell

/

about

Again, one of the more recent songs written on the album. The sixth track on Duchess Edge is this one. Summer Doesn't Last. The song is very simple, in terms of structure, using the popular I-V-VI-IV progression. This chord sequence has led to it being performed live with famous songs tagged on the end (Price Tag - Jessie J, Edge Of Glory - Lady GaGa amongst others). This is the 100% original version though.

lyrics

Verse 1
They came so close, and then drifted away
Now thirty years have passed, but it feels like yesterday.
When he held your hand in the back row of the movies.
When she realised how he felt and what the truth is.
Now it's too late now, so many years have passed.
It's too late now, because Summer doesn't last

Chorus
They both remember every single day.
Secrets shared and letters that you can't throw away.
They both remember all the words they shared.
What could've been had you had only dared.

Verse 2
Now you're both old and grey, and it's cold and outside.
And you both no there's no way to the past, and there's no where to hide.
And she's thinking back to memories of summer.
And he's thinking back, oh why didn't he kiss her.
But it's too late now, the past is gone forever.
And they missed the chance to be together.

Chorus
They both remember every single day.
Secrets shared and letters that you can't throw away.
They both remember all the words they shared.
What could've been had you had only dared.
