  • Hand me that glass
    Hold it to the light
    There's a crack but it's still water tight
    Pour me a drink because it's getting hot
    Since you went and put that dress on
    To pirouette in silhouette
    And even when you're gone
    I still see it:
    Ten thousand summers
    Cannot replace what we lost when you
    went away.
    Ten thousand summers in the grass
    And though it's getting dark
    Remember this will pass
    We take your car but it won't run
    So we wait for the train but it never comes
    Now we're underground in the heat
    Listening to your songs
    One headphone each
    Sing into my mouth
    Fill up my chestThe day will come
    You'll run out of breath.
    Ten thousand summers
    Cannot replace what we lost when you
    went away
    Ten thousand summers in the sand
    And though it's getting cold
    Remember this will pass
    And this sun will never set
    And this sun
    Ten thousand summers
    Cannot replace what we lost when you
    went away
    Ten thousand summers in the dance
    And though you're getting tired
    Remember this will pass
    And this sun
    Will never set Writer/s: Geoff Rickly, Jamie Oliver, Lee Gaze, Luke Johnson, Mike Lewis, Stuart Richardson
