Track 11 off Long, Endless Parade

lyrics

Well it doesn't seem too long ago
The first hot spell of the year
Exploding on a weekend late in May
Your car pulled right up to my curb
And the trunk was full of beer
And nothing more than fumes were in the tank

It was as full a time as I've ever felt
The beach it has a knack
For stretching out the hours into days
So when the light it vanished
And the gloaming did attack
You honestly seemed thankful when you sang

Goodbye summer, goodbye summer
Goodbye summer, goodbye son
Goodbye summer, goodbye son

I lost sight of all my earthly needs
You keep wearing less and less
And heaven knows I'm not too far behind
I keep thinking I'll soon clean the sand
From in between the seats
But to such entropy I'm quite resigned

We've been chasing rays for days and days
Heating up just to cool down
We wouldn't have it any other way
There's no precedent for a fire like ours
Or so well tell ourselves
Lord I hope you'll never make me say

Goodbye summer, goodbye summer
Goodbye summer, goodbye son
Goodbye summer, goodbye son

Well they say it's often estival
A bit later in the fall
But sunshine in October's not the same
When clothes are clean of coppertone
And tan lines fade away
And summer flings turn into balls and chains

Well it's true that we could chase this feelng
Somewhere in the south
Take a pilgrimage to Rio or Adelaide
But what's the light without the darkness
What's a thirst forever slaked
Just come harmonize with me here in the shade

And we'll sing goodbye summer...
