Hand out the window

Floatin' on air

Just a flip of the wrist

I'd be wavin' you goodbye
Drive past the lifeguard stand

Where I sit around waiting for you to remember

Well past the beach hotels

Where the girls are getting' bronzed on their monogrammed towels



I drive this ocean road

And remember



How the girls could turn to ghosts before your eyes

And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying

And how the grace with which she walked into your life

And stay with you in your steps , pace with you a while

For so long, so long

so long so long



The speaker in this door is blown

So nothing sounds quite right

And I drive this ocean road

And I remember

The small of your back

And the nape of your neck

And the soft way you'd hold me in the night



I remember



How the girls can turn to ghosts before your eyes

And the very dreams that led to them are keeping them from dying

And how the grace with which she walked into your life

Will stay you in your steps, and pace with you a while

So long, so long,



so long, so long x6





(Interlude of da da dum¦)



And I will leave under the cover

Of summer's kiss upon the sky

Like the stone face of your lover

Just before she says goodbye

I was thinkin' that the season could be held between my arms

But just as summer's hold is fleeting

I was here but now I'm gone

I'm gone



I'm gone, I'm gone x5
