Long Hot Summer Lyrics

Gone the days of the long hot summer

Swept into the waves and the beachside fires

Got a cool breeze blowing, cool breeze on the cattails now

Flown the trails of the sunrise riding

Passing up the heat on the beachside lying

Dipping in the water when the sun starts beating down

Sailing up the coast in the sunrise light

Wading through the pools of a seaside tide

Tossing back your hair and you look so fine

Looking like a paragon all the time

Leaping off the dock in a sunset flight

Floating in the shallows of the inlet night

I held you underneath the stars so bright

And I had a feeling then that you'd be mine

Every last day of the long hot summer

Still playing our music into late July

Pitched against the pines and the fireside

Laughing with our friends in the seaside light

Camped against the shore and the waves and brine

Pulled into the tow of the August nights

Buoyed by the breeze of the countryside

I caught your hand, and you caught mine

Driving past the fields on a late-night ride

Basking in the glow of a long hot summer

Gone the days of the great heartbreakers

Laughing at the boys and the swimsuit bathers

Dipping in the water when the sun starts beating down

Flown the trails of the sunrise riding

Passing up the heat on the beachside lying

Dipping in the water when the sun starts beating down

Spending all our moments under big blue skies

Floating in a feeling that I can't define

Looking for adventures in the sunset light

Cooking by the coast and the rocks and the pines

Standing by the ocean in the middle of the night

I never gazed deeper than into your eyes

I felt the moment when the stars aligned

When you said forever that you'd be mine

Long past the days of the long hot summer

Gone the days of the long hot summer

Swept into the waves and the beachside fires

Got a cool breeze blowing, cool breeze on the cattails now
