Chapter Notes: The original song is "Girls in Their Summer Clothes" by Bruce Springsteen.

Poet's note: "So not your traditional summer fling, but it is very summery and has romance. I just saw Springsteen perform the original live, so it has been in my head."






Well the streetlights shine
Down on Diagon Alley, oo
Lovers they walk by
Holdin' hands two by two

A breeze crosses the porch
Broomsticks circle above
Jacket's on, I'm out the door
Tonight I'm gonna burn this town down

And the girls in their summer robes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer robes
Pass me by

Kid's Gobstones smack
Off the gutter 'neath the lamp light
Gringotts clock chimes
Off go the sleepy apartment lights

Downtown the store's alive
As the evening's underway
Things been a little tight
But I know they're gonna turn my way

And the girls in their summer robes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer robes
Pass me by

The Leaky Cauldron
Over on the edge of town
Magic sign spinnin' round
Like a cross over the lost and found

The candle lights
Flicker above my head
Hannah brings a mug and asks "fill?"
And says "a knut for your thoughts now my poor Bill"

She went away
She cut me like a knife
Hello beautiful thing
Maybe you could save my life

In just a glance
Down here on Magic Street
Love's a fool's dance
I ain't got much sense but I still got my feet

And the girls in their summer robes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer robes
Pass me by

And the girls in their summer robes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer robes
Pass me by

La la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la, la la la la la la la
