'Til Summer Comes Around

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 on 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 pier

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

And then I close my eyes and one more time

We're spinning around and you're holding on 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 swore you'd be back again

And so I'm frozen in this town

'Til summer comes around

And it comes around

And I close my eyes and you and I

Are stuck on the Ferris wheel rocking with the motions

And 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

But now the winter wind is the only sound

And everything is closing down

'Til summer comes around

'Til summer comes around

'Til it comes around

And it comes around
