When we made it to the garden it was well past nine

Our hands came to agreement as we walked in time

A jealous rose stole a thread from the skirted thigh

I clipped it quick with a flick of the switchblade knife,

of the switchblade knife, of the switchblade knife



That rose was so fine in her hair

The shadow in the moonlight

The hot summer night's right



My summer angel keeps me on the run

My summer angel keeps me on the run

My summer angel keeps me on the run



Poppies swayed while she spun on how she fell in love

When in Rome c'est la vie when overseas however you want

We leaned closer and she finally threw me the life raft

She pulled me in and kept me right until the night left

Until the night left, until the night left



That rose was so fine in her hair

The shadow in the moonlight

The hot summer night's right



My summer angel keeps me on the run

My summer angel keeps me on the run

My summer angel keeps me on the run



And when her kisses came they rain down

And when my body moved she made sound

And when she moved down she made my back arch

As I lay there in the moonlight dark

She said



That rose was so fine in her hair

The shadow in the moonlight

The hot summer night's right



My summer angel keeps me on the run

My summer angel keeps me on the run

My summer angel keeps me on the run

My summer angel
