Holidays

I try to keep the memories of my holidays alive.
Think all the time about the beach and the sun.
But most of all I think about you.

Images fade so fast. And present turns to past.
I have to face the fact that itīs over, itīs over.
But I know a part of me will preserve the memory.
So in a precious way it wonīt be over, not over.

Mike and Susan cooking for the rest of us – really delicious, oh yeah.
Me climbing up the hill. Itīs like standing at the top of the world – time for meditation.

Arno always drunk or on drugs, sometimes unbearable.
Then he was sleeping in the sand with a joint in his hand.

Images fade so fast. And present turns to past.
I have to face the fact that itīs over, itīs over.
But I know a part of me will preserve the memory.
So in a precious way it wonīt be over, not over.

Stumbling through the same few bars each night, drinking ron con cola.
In the sea I broke my toe, oh no. And I was always eating mojo with bread.

Robert got badly beaten down by a spanish chico.
Me having sex three times with you, what a great thing to do.

Images fade so fast. And present turns to past.
I have to face the fact that itīs over, itīs over.
But I know a part of me will preserve the memory.
So in a precious way it wonīt be over, not over.

Arenīt our yesterdays an unvaluable treasure?
And ainīt remembering a satisfying pleasure?
Arenīt our yesterdays an unvaluable treasure?
And ainīt remembering a satisfying pleasure?

Though these great days are over. And though they wonīt return.
They are like the brightest candle. One that will nver stop to burn.

One that will never stop, one that will never stop, one that will never stop to burn, burn.
One that will never stop, one that will never stop, one that will never stop to burn, burn.
One that will never stop, one that will never stop, one that will never stop to burn, burn.
One that will never stop, one that will never stop, one that will never stop to burn, burn.

One that will never stop to burn.One that will never stop to burn.
One that will never stop, one that will never stop to burn, burn, burn, burn.
