Two Young Lovers (Live at Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK, 1983) [2023 Remaster] Dire Straits

Elijah Mill Collins, join us on the saxophone
So, yeah, it's got a funny beat to it
Just follow us now, here we go

It was the last day of summer
It was the first of a new romance
He walked into her on the corner
She said, "I don't dance"
He said, "Baby, let me teach you"
She said, "Okay, when?"
He said, "So, how can I reach you, baby?
I'd really like to see you again"

Now, he picked her up on a Friday night
He took her for a bite to eat
His heart was beating and his hands were shaking
She thought he was sweet
She stood on his shoes on the dance floor
They do the rockabilly boogie, twisting cheek-to-cheek
He walked her home, he kissed her
And he was walking on air all week

Now, they couldn't stand to be apart
They couldn't leave one another alone
Her mama used to say, "It's getting late, sweetheart
It's time that boy went home"
And upstairs papa kissed mama
And she gave him a sweet caress
He said, "Now here's to the two young lovers
We wanna wish them every happiness"
