The End Of Summer Lyrics

The sun's evaporating from the exhausted summer sky

You wait to close the book

To say one last goodbye

You've packed away the memories to save for other times

You steel yourself for what's to come

And put this all behind

The sand sweeps down the boardwalk

On past the shuttered pier

The shops, the stands they're all closed now

To wait another year

The world that once you thought you knew now slipping out of reach

Like waves relentless crashing down the jetties and the beach

Cause it's the end of summer

And you'll play no longer

And you feel the chill to come

You've loaded up the wagon

And you point yourself toward home

No more sounds of laughter no more cotton candy clouds

No more summer festivals to entertain the crowds

Puzzled by the mystery of how they disappeared

Now the sounds of crying seagulls are the only noise you hear.

And it's the end of summer

As the world grows colder

Now you rise up early with the dawn

It's like your frozen in a moment and the world has since moved on
