James Yorkston Summer Song Lyrics

If I promise to settle down with you forever by my side
Oh will you keep the peace, oh lord knows I have tried, lord know I have tried
I live for your kind words there the cool (cruel?) words that I've heard
I live for your quite embrace we have years yet left to waste
The more time we spend alone the happier I am
I place my trust in fool lord will I never learn, lord will I never learn

The summer it is near, it's time that we all left behind
Unlocked to say a word?? and we'll do the best we can, we do the best we can.
