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 spinnin' around
and you're holding
on tightly
The words came out
I kissed your mouth
no 4th 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
Till summer
comes around
I got a job
workin' at the
old park pier
And every summer
now for five long years
I greased the gears
fixed the lights
tightened bolts and
straightened the tracks
And I count the days
'til you just might
come back
But then I close my eyes
and one more time
we're spinnin' around
and you're holding on
tightly
The words came out
I kissed your mouth
no 4th of July has
ever burned so brightly
You had to go
I understand
but you swore that
you'd be back again
And so I'm frozen
in this town
Till summer
comes around
Yeah, yeah
It comes around
Ooh and I close my eyes
and you and I were
stuck on the ferris wheel
rockin' with the motion
And hand in hand
we cried and laughed
knowin' the love
belonged to us, girl
if only for a moment
Baby I'll be back again
you whispered in my ear
but now the winter
wind is the only sound
And everything is
closin' down
Till summer
comes around
Till summer
comes around
yeah
Ooooooh
till it comes around
and it comes around
