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 spinning around and you're holding me 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 at the old park peir 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
Oh and I close my eyes and you and I Are stuck on a 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 Bot now the winter win os the only sound And everything is closing down Til summer comes around
