Two Weeks from Summer Sun by Ben Willmott

TWO WEEKS

It choked me up to see you go
See your look as you waved from the platform
I never loved you more than now
Not to have is to know how much I need you

But it’s only two weeks that I’ll be missing you
And surely that won’t be too long
Only two weeks that ‘til I’ll be kissing you
But my love for you was just too strong

I’d close my eyes to sleep at night
Ceaseless thoughts stole my rested tomorrow
And when I woke I’d find you gone
Just a dream gone some place I couldn’t follow

But it’s only two weeks that I’ll be missing you
And surely that won’t be too long
Only two weeks that ‘til I’ll be kissing you
But my love for you was just too strong

And I jumped aboard the train that I had watched from 10 floors up
To the west was where I’d find you to the west
Those wheels of steel kept rolling ‘til I finally was with you by the Sea

Hand in hand along a pebble beach, you showed me all the places you called home and we shared ice-cream and had chips and when we kissed where the river met the Sea… that was you and me

The time came and I had to go
Pack my bags and head back to Southampton
I missed you from the first goodbye
Held you close and tried hard to remember

That it’s only one week that I’ll be missing you
And surely that won’t be too long
Only one week ‘til I’ll be kissing you
Just five days until I’d see you again

And come Friday I was counting every minute ‘til I saw you
But the Sun was in no hurry in the Sky
I rushed through all my numbers and ran back to find you waiting
You came back to me
You came back to me
