Lyrics
Another long summer’s come and goneI don’t know why it always ends this wayThe boardwalk’s quiet and the carnival ridesAre as empty as my broken heart tonightBut I close my eyes and one more timeWe’re spinning around and you’re holding on tightlyThe words came out, I kissed your mouthNo Fourth of July has ever burned so brightlyYou had to go, I understandBut you promised you’d be back againAnd so I wander ’round this town‘Til summer comes aroundI got a job working at the old park pierAnd every summer now for five long yearsI grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts, straighten the tracksAnd I count the days til you just might come backAnd then I close my eyes and one more timeWe’re spinning around and you’re holding on tightlyThe words came out, I kissed your mouthNo Fourth of July has ever burned so brightlyYou had to go, I understandBut you swore you’d be back againAnd so I’m frozen in this town‘Til summer comes aroundAnd it comes aroundAnd I close my eyes and you and IAre stuck on the Ferris wheel rocking with the motionsAnd Hand in hand we cried and laughedKnowing that love belonged to us girl, if only for a momentAnd “Baby I’ll be back again” you whispered in my earBut now the winter wind is the only soundAnd everything is closing down‘Til summer comes around‘Til summer comes around‘Til it comes aroundAnd it comes around
