Summertime is still here
See the pretty girl dress without fear
Runaway model you capture my eye
But I turn away as you walk on by
Gotta turn away as you walk on by
Vineyards feed my thirst
I lose me head to your fruit that I curse
To the cold waters, the Atlantic I dive
Refresh my blood, my mind
To remember the blood of her wine
Sunset on the mountainside
The silhouette of the Lion’s Head in the sky
I am more than a stranger trekking ‘round here
Feel of the edge of the world near
Feel the edge of the world draw near
Summertime fading fast
See the pretty girl nervously laugh
Don’t hesitate baby to capture my eye
But I turn away as you walk on by
Gotta turn away as you walk on by
.. the African continent is a beautiful and wild place. It was an experience to write this song in Cape Town, South Africa at the edge of the world./em>
