Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You say it's the way these passing years have treated you
That the weight of the dreams you once carried
Has now defeated you
That our candle lit dinners will all just be reheated through
Our quarrels and disappointments
Just get repeated, too
[Verse 2]
Well, I've packed our bags
I know I should have consulted you
But pretending to bargain
Would have only insulted you
So, do just as I say
We'll go away today
The fire still burns whatever you may claim
[Verse 3]
Let's be young again
If only for the weekend
Let's be fools again
Let's fall in at the deep end
Let's do once more
All the things we did before
The summer we crossed Europe in the rain
[Verse 4]
Remember that hotel
The crooked balcony door
From where we stood and watched the market in the downpour
Sharing warm baguettes
On sunny cathedral steps
Dancing the Tango waiting for our train
[Verse 5]
Let's be young again
If only for the weekend
Let's be fools again
Let's fall in at the deep end
Let's do once more
All the things we did before
The summer we crossed Europe in the rain
[Verse 6]
Let's be young again
If only for the weekend
Let's be fools again
Let's fall in at the deep end
Let's do once more
All the things we did before
The summer we crossed Europe in the rain
