Lyrics & Tabs
Sing or play along to your favourite Ash songs
Walking Barefoot
Your beauty took my breath away
In awe all day
Your company was so relaxing
Easy going ways
We saw the first signs of summer
And springtime change
Walking barefoot across the sand
I hadn't planned to stay
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
It'll be sad my friend
To see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
You are broke all summer
But you still sing
Don't need money when it's sunny
Don't need anything
Just need music sun and laughter
And no currency
The sun on your bare shoulders
Comes for free
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
It'll be sad my friend
To see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
Why can't we just design
To live like this all the time
Why can't we just quit
Sand ran through my fingers
And the land was hot
Anointed by Apollo
And his chariot
Disarmed by your charm
That night I felt it again
Addictive and consuming
Love's sweet pain
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
It'll be sad my friend
To see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
Our days are as the wind blows us
We are free
You've got a quiet life out of town
Of coastal ease
The wind it has no pattern
We take life slow
And when the night has fallen
Our cup overflows
When the summers gone
And the room is cold
When your looking at the rain
And it just wont go
Remembering when the sun was high
Up above
Remembering when the days were long
And we were in love
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
It'll be sad my friend
To see it come to an end
Why can't we just quit
Yeah we've been walking barefoot
All summer
Why can't we just design
To live like this all the time
Why can't we just quit

Song Notes
A track first played at the NME show at the London Astoria in 2000, kicks off Free All Angels in fine form. Tim voice sounds as good as ever, both subtle and delicate, as the album opens with the gentle lyric "Your beauty took my breath away". The track takes elements of "Oh Yeah", and "Lost In You" and combines it into a pure classic that has a chorus you'll be singing for weeks. Suprisingly never released as a single in the UK, yet it did get a release in Australia, the song is a regular on Ash's setlist.
