Last Days of Summer

Oh the last I remember was the end of September
 The wind blowing in from the sea
 We were down by the ocean drinking and talking
 Knowing the ending was near
 So we picked up the car and we picked up some wine
 And we headed on out through the town
 Driving all night, past small village lights
 We were drunk by the light of the moon
 Pints, pills, drunk to the gills
 And boys I can hardly remember
 With a fine mist coming over the hills
 These are the last days of summer

 The last I remember was the end of September
 The graveyard looked grey in the rain
 So after the funeral we went to a bar
 And we drank just to forget the pain
 We toasted the living and we toasted the dead
 And we toasted ourselves for good measure
 And too drunk to see I went out in the street
 And I cried till I thought I felt better
 Pints, pills, drunk to the gills
 And boys I can hardly remember
 With a fine mist coming over the hills
 These are the last days of summer

 Oh the last I remember was the end of September
 The house it lay empty and bare
 We burned all the past, you know things never last
 You just have to start over again
 So I walked into town and I went to a bar
 And I stayed there the whole afternoon
 
 Talking with friends, trying to make some amends
 Knowing the ending was soon
 Oh pints, pills, drunk to the gills
 And boys I can hardly remember
 With a fine mist coming over the hills
 These are the last days of summer
 Yes, these are the last days of summer
 Oh these are the last days of summer
