Lyrics partially rewritten by E. Beaumont
Saw: Celeste Verhelst

lyrics

The affair
in the Summer of ‘79
The affair makes me blush still
when I think of her in those skinny arms of mine

In the Summer of ’79
a boy went down below the Mason-Dixon line
In the Fall, when he returned, scorched and slightly burned,
he wasn’t a boy anymore

Oh, that affair
in the Summer of ‘79
The affair that let a young boy
know that he might be the loving kind

There were times I swore, blamed you
for my tears and much more
Knocked down by a kiss from you, so little I could do
Woman, I loved you true
