Two Weeks Last Summer - Sandy Denny, The Strawbs

The dancing plants grow low

Burning embers start to glow

The pictures soon will fade

Pictures that the flames have made

Your hazy, wistful face

Suddenly is gone without a trace

Summer days i’ll float downstream

Wondering where the day has been

Boats that sail away at night

Come the day

Have sailed far out of sight

Reminiscing summer walks

Empty glances, moonlit talks

Candyfloss and ice-cream cones

Discoth?

ques and rolling stones

Passing fancies fly away

Empty shadows on a sunlit bay

(2x chorus)

Fotheringay version

The dancing flowers grow low

Burning embers start to glow

The pictures soon will fade

Pictures that the flames have made

Your hazy, wistful face

Suddenly is gone without a trace

Reminiscing summer walks

Empty glances, moonlit talks

Promises that mean so much

Broken with a single touch

Passing fancies fly away

Painting shadows on the sunlit bay

Summer days i’ll float downstream

Wondering where the day has been

Boats that sail away at night

Come the dawn

Have sailed far out of sight

Deserted evening warm and still

Strangers come and go at will

Driftwood on the silent shore

Laughter from an open door

Friendly faces once again

Come inside before it starts to rain
