lyrics

She works till 7:30
and I'm lured by this fair mermaid
We sail down the Parkway
and dock at Exit 98

We feel the sunset; a pink and orange glow
We taste the saline from the ocean's flow

We stroll down the boardwalk
and old wood creaks beneath our feet
Flashing lights surround us,
Trade winds blow in from the east

Shore air is heavy with humidity
Arcades are beeping like a symphony

The Ferris Wheel spins tonight
The carousel rings like chimes
Waves are crashing in lament
As Summer Ends

We take our shoes and socks off
our bare feet tread across the beach
The ground's a sandy mattress
The sky's a starry canopy

Salt water's freezing but her arms are warm
The night wind is singing like a troubadour

The Ferris Wheel spins tonight
The carousel rings like chimes
Waves are crashing in lament
As Summer Ends
