Hand out the window Floatin' on air Just a flip of the wrist And I am wavin' you goodbye
Drive past the lifeguard stand Where I sit around waiting for you to remember As I drive
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 Will stay with you in your steps, And pace with you a while So long, so long [x2]
The speaker in this door is blown So nothing sounds quite right Takin' my time, takin' this drive, wavin' this town goodbye, And I drive this ocean road and remember The small of your back And the nape of your neck I remember everything as I drive, wavin' this town goodbye
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 with you in your steps, Pace with you a while So long, so long...
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 certain that the season could be held between my arms Well just as summer's hold is fleeting I was here but now I'm gone... I'm gone... I'm gone, I'm gone I'm gone...
