Intro: F# F#maj7 B x4
F# F#maj7 B
Summer it came, like a light across the highlands
F# F#maj7 B
And we laid it down
F# F#maj7 B
You wore a dress made of light from the islands
F# F#maj7 B
And we sent postcards home
F# F#maj7 B x2
In dying light, this was not to be forgotten
As we are chosen few
Into the sea, with a touch as soft as cotton
Beneath this angel moon
Chorus
G#m C#
It's been keeping me awake
F# F#maj7 B
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
G#m C#
And I'm not so strong
F# F#maj7 B
To be satisfied by all the things I've done
G#m C#
And the things I threw away...
F# F#maj7 B x2
You wrote your name as we lay among the heather
Of what you left behind
Following past, that would lead us both together
And let us lose our minds
Chorus
G#m C#
It's been keeping me awake
F# F#maj7 B
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
G#m C#
And I'm not so strong
F# F#maj7 B
To be satisfied by all the things I've done
G#m C#
Or the things I threw away...
F# F#maj7 B x2
Summer it fell, and it coursed across the highlands
And so quickly gone
Your faded dress for years now tied away and silent
And as the nights lay low
Chorus
G#m C#
It's been keeping me awake
F# F#maj7 B
Leaving this behind was my first mistake
G#m C#
And I'm not so strong
F# F#maj7 B
To be satisfied by all the things I've done
G#m C#
Or the things I threw away...
F# F#maj7 B
The things I threw away
F# F#maj7 B
The things I threw away
F# F#maj7 B
The things I threw away
