Story behind the song
Just wanted to write a song about the fact that it may not be too late to change the course of your life. This was written for a female country style singer (Dolly Parton 'll do, but I don't know where she lives).
Lyrics
Indian Summer
Honey dear
Oh honey dear!
Your ashtrays full and youre out of beer
And Im running out of steam
It aint turned out to be the dream
I had in store when you carried me through the door
It may sound crass but all the birds were singing
Loved seemed eternal but now Im thinking of
Taking advantage of that Freudian slip
Taking no notice of your bullying lip
To take a chance upon a skinny dip
The sea feels warm once youre in
Swapping those Panda eyes for loving arms
Swapping those needless lies for magical charms
The offers there so why not take it now
An Indian Summer is here
Why stay here
Oh why stay here
The kids have grown up and gone and were
Always living in the past
The fading photos of when we last
Kissed, I mean really kissed
All the chances that we missed
While you got high
High Is it so High
Je tadore
Je tadore
Mais au revoir honey Im out the door
The stars entice above rotten eves
Hed seen the signs but wouldnt believe
That I would go
I wish him luck am I bitter no
It may sound crass but all the birds are singing
Loves eternal thats why Im ringing you
Chorus
Taking advantage of that Freudian slip
And no notice of that bullys lip
To take a chance upon a skinny dip
The sea feels warm once youre in
No matter what the past is gone
But times racing on
The love I had was crushed the crunch lingers on
Now Im wiser with my eyes open wide
In the hope that Ive turned the tide
