A Summer Tamarind

She took a deep breath
And made a wish list
She had a sweet tooth
She got some ginger
A little cinnamon
And squeezed the lime juice

That's how it went
Yakking in the kitchen
With a female friend
At ten to ten
Wondering what it was
She was missing again

A summer tamarind
A summer tamarind

And with the lights lit
Along the shoreline
And the guitars out
Like any pop wife
She'd had a shop life
With all the stars out

That's how it rang
Standing on the beach
With the sturm and drang
At midnight five
Feeling like the
Place was coming alive

A summer tamarind
A summer tamarind

And here come the high
Clouds of summer
Chasing their tails in July
They don't understand when
The waves leave the sand
It's goodbye
Always goodbye

A summer tamarind
A summer tamarind
