[Verse 1]
I look for summer all year round and suddenly here it is
She's left for the beaches and I’m alone up here in the city
I hear an airplane whistling over the rooftops as it leaves
[Chorus]
Blue the afternoon is too blue and long for me
I find I have no more power without you
So I almost take the train and come, come to you
But the wish train in my thoughts goes backwards
[Verse 2]
It seems like when I was at the oratory with so much sun, so many years ago
Those Sundays alone in a courtyard strolling
Now I'm more bored than thеn, not even a priest to chat
[Chorus]
Bluе the afternoon is too blue and long for me
I find I have no more power without you
So I almost take the train and come, come to you
But the wish train in my thoughts goes backwards
[Verse 3]
Looking for a bit of Africa in the garden, between the oleander and the baobab tree
As I did as a child, but here there are people, you can't anymore
They’re watering your roses, there's no lion, who knows where he is
[Chorus]
Blue the afternoon is too blue and long for me
I find I have no more power without you
So I almost take the train and come, come to you
But the wish train in my thoughts goes backwards
Blue the afternoon is too blue and long for me
I find I have no more power without-
