Keswick summer ’67 - where I’d like to be
Keswick summer ’67 - life was good to me
We’ve all had a summer love - one we won’t forget
Keswick summer ‘67 - I still think of yet
Met a Scottish actress there - Elspeth was her name
Waitress at ‘The Skiddaw’ where - she would dream of fame
We would walk down by the lake - talk the summer long
Never thought I’d ever bake - memories in a song
Chorus:
Keswick - summer ’67- how good it seems today
Played all night in ‘The Central Bar’ - stayed in love all day
Keswick - summer ’67- how good to be alive
A Scottish girl and an old guitar – helped me to survive
Every week I’d do a gig - could not pay a rent
I lived up at Castlerigg - in a ragged tent
Elspeth brought chicken cold - from the big hotel
Dined in the darkness every night - into bed we fell
Chorus:
San Francisco far away - flowers in its hair
Hippies shook the world that year - love was in the air
I surfed on a summer love - long way from Fisco Bay
Keswick summer ‘67 - take me home today
Chorus:
Ending:
Minds play host to ghostly scenes that live in memory
Keswick summer of ’67 - will live then die with me
