Lyrics Summer's Over - Barry McGuire

Summer's Over

Kamikaze seagull planes
Fighting over chip shop take-away remains
When you’re walking on the cliffs
You can’t help thinking of how far down the sea is
And what if it should give…
I didn’t mean to bring you down
Summer’s over, seaside town
She says we shouldn’t have come so far
This seaside town, summer’s over
Empty pubs echo with sounds
Jukebox selections that keep going round and round
And maybe rain is all we need
To come and wash the summer rubbish off the beach
Oh, let’s just go to sleep!
I didn’t mean to bring you down
Summer’s over, seaside town
She says we shouldn’t have come so far
This seaside town…
I didn’t mean to bring you down
Summer’s over, seaside town
She says we shouldn’t have come so far
This seaside town, summer’s over
In the back of the arcades
Kids borrow money to play one more final game
While mothers wait in family cars
I wonder why we ever chose to come so far
But I wish you wouldn’t ask…
I didn’t mean to bring you down
Summer’s over, seaside town
She says we shouldn’t have come so far
This seaside town…
I didn’t mean to bring you down
Summer’s over, seaside town
She says we shouldn’t have come so far
This seaside town, summer’s over
This summer’s over, seaside town
This seaside town, summer’s over
Summer’s over…
