No one was as beautiful as we were
You and I, you and I
Who painted each other with shine
You and I, you and I
You had me under your skin
I was yours, you were never mine
You smelled, danced and dreamed
But doubt stuck the knife in me
I am a sinner in the summer sun
And it's the heat making me this way
Lying here and thinking of you
I am a sinner in the summer sun
Full of fever and fantasy
It's too late, I went my way
Your tears are salty and bitter
Washing me far away
Even my doubt is doubtful
I don't believe what he's seen
When the shadows dance on the ceiling
And dead days take revenge
Then I escape in a fire of rain
Far within myself
I am a sinner in the summer sun
And it's the heat making me this way
Lying here and thinking of you
I am a sinner in the summer sun
Full of fever and fantasy
It's too late, I went my way
Lying here and thinking of you
