Another long summer’s come and gone,
I don’t know why it always ends this way.
The boardwalk’s quiet, and the carnival rides
are as empty as my broken heart tonight.
Chorus:
But I close my eyes and one more time,
we’re spinning around and you’re holding on tightly.
The words came out, I kissed your mouth.
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly.
You had to go, I understand,
but you promised you’d be back again,
and so I wander ‘round this town,
‘til summer comes around.
I got a job working on the old park pier,
and every summer now for five long years.
I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts, straighten the tracks
And I count the days ‘til you just might come back.
Chorus:
But I close my eyes and one more time,
we’re spinning around and you’re holding on tightly.
The words came out, I kissed your mouth.
No Fourth of July has ever burned so brightly.
You had to go, I understand,
but you promised you’d be back again,
and so I wander ‘round this town,
‘til summer comes around, yeaaah,
and it comes around.
Oh, and I close my eyes and you and I
are stuck on the ferris wheel rockin’ with the motion.
Hand in hand we cried and laughed,
knowing that love belonged to us girl, if only for a moment,
and “Baby I’ll be back again” you whispered in my ear.
But now the winter wind is the only sound,
and everything is closing down,
‘til summer comes around,
‘til summer comes around, ooooh,
‘til it comes around and it comes around.
And I miss you baby, ooh yeah, I miss you baby. |
