When we made it to the garden It was well past nine Our hands came to agreement As we walked in time A jealous rose stole a thread From her skirted thigh I clipped it quick with a flick Of this switchblade knife
That rose was so fine in her hair Her shadow in the moon light The hot summer night's right My summer angel keeps me on the run
Poppies swayed while she spun On how she fell in love 'When in Rome, or c'est la vie, When over seas, However you want' Leaning close in she finally Threw me the life raft She pulled me in and kept me right Until the night left
That rose was so fine in her hair Her shadow in the moon light The hot summer night's right My summer angel keeps me on the run
And when her kisses came, They rained down And when my body moved, She made sound And when she moved down She made my back arc As I lay there in the moon light dark She sang...
That rose was so fine in her hair Her shadow in the moon light The hot summer night's right My summer angel keeps me on the run
