| 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
|
| But I close my eyes and one more time
|
| We’re spinnin' around and you’re holdin' 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 around this town
|
| 'Til summer comes around
|
| I got a job workin' at 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
|
| And then I close my eyes and one more time
|
| We’re spinnin' around and you’re holdin' 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 swore that you’d be back again
|
| And so I’m frozen in this town
|
| 'Til summer comes around
|
| And it comes around
|
| Oh and I close my eyes and you and I Are stuck on the Ferris wheel ridin' with the motion
|
| And hand in hand we cried and laughed
|
| Knowin' that love belonged to us girl if only for a moment
|
| «Baby I’ll be back again», you whispered in my ear
|
| But now the winter wind is the only sound
|
| And everythin' is closin' down
|
| 'Til summer comes around
|
| 'Til summer comes around
|
| 'Til it comes around and it comes around
|
| And I miss you baby
|
| And I miss you baby
|
| And you’re comin' back down
|
| And you’re comin' back down |
