Your beauty took my breath away

In awe all day

Easy going ways

We saw the first signs of summer and springtime change

Walking barefoot along the sand

I hadn't planned to stay



Yeah we've been walking barefoot 

All summer

It'll be sad my friend

Why can't we just quit



You are broke all summer

But you still sing

Don't need money when it's sunny

Don't need anything

Just need music and sun and laughter

And no currency

The sun on your bare shoulders



Yeah we've been walking barefoot 

All summer

It'll be sad my friend

Why can't we just quit

Yeah we've been walking barefoot 

All summer

Why can't we just design

To live like this all the time

Why can't we just quit



Sand ran through my fingers

And the land was hot

Anointed by Apollo

And his chariot

Disarmed by your charm

That night I felt it again

Addictive and consuming

Love's sweet pain



Yeah we've been walking barefoot 

All summer

It'll be sad my friend

Why can't we just quit



Our days are as the wind blows us

We are free

You've a quiet love out of town

Of coastal ease

The wind it has no pattern

We take life slow

And when the night has fallen

Out cups overflows



When the summer's gone 

And the room is cold

When you're looking at the rain 

And it just won't go

Remember when the sun was high

Up above

Remember when the days were long 

And we were in love



Yeah we've been walking barefoot 

All summer

It'll be sad my friend

Why can't we just quit

Yeah we've been walking barefoot 

All summer

Why can't we just design

To live like this all the time

Why can't we just quit
