Letra de First Summer After
After all the days of waiting We were suddenly released We filled our pockets with good fortune And headed out east There were rumours on the highways There were shadows of the war It was the first summer after And the last summer beforeWe bought flowers for the wedding From the market in the square We turned up dressed like pirates Just happy to be there Among the ghosts of empire And the legends of the wall It was the first summer after And the last summer beforeSo we listened to the road, we listened to the wind We listened to the bells, we listened to the treesThere were ripples on the water and ripples in the sheets And ripples in our hearts and ripples in the heatWhen the madman stole the keys In the dark dead of the night Our luck we couldn't believe Like a strange shift of the light It's the kindness of other people We have built our lives upon It was the first summer after And the last summer beforeThere were ripples in the water and ripples in the sheets And ripples in our hearts and ripples in the heatAnd now the people talk in riddles and drift to silenceAnd all the colours they were turning And the land was at rest And the harvest moon was waning As we headed back west The dust rising in the fields Until we couldn't see at all It was the first summer after And the last summer before
