They were sitting

They were sitting on the strawberry swing

Every moment was so precious



They were sitting

They were talking under strawberry swing

Everybody was for fighting

Wouldn't want to waste a thing



Cold, cold water bring me round

Now my feet won't touch the ground

Cold, cold water what you say?

When it's such, it's such a perfect day

Such a perfect day



I remember we were walking up to strawberry swing

I can't wait until the morning

Wouldn't want to change a thing



People moving all the time

Inside a perfectly straight line

Don't you wanna just curve away?

When it's such, it's such a perfect day

It's such a perfect day



Ah-ah-ah-ah-iiiiii

Now the sky could be blue I don't mind

Without you it's a waste of time

Could be blue I don't mind

Without you it's a waste of time

Now the sky could be blue could be grey

Without you I'm just miles away

Oh the sky could be blue I don't mind

Without you it's a waste of time
