Lyrics
We sailed away on a windward haul
swore we'd live on love and alcohol
said we'd leave it all behind
and sail out where the ocean meets the sky
Just us, just you and me
just us, just you and me
oh ya, what a summer
We thought that all we'd ever need
was a sunny beach and a cool sea breeze
a warm summer night
and a wishing star
and songs we sang with my old guitar
Just us, just you and me
just us, just you and me
Oh babe what a summer
That was our summer lost in love
with our toes in the sand
and a big bright moon above
Looking back it is so nostalgic
we really did believe in magic
Just us, just you and me
just us, just you and me
oh ya, what a summer
Just us, just you and me
