We were slick back in ‘96
Down at the Scotland Yard trying to get our kicks
The boys of summer back in town
Running up and down the coast with the tops down

Mamie was hot just like the sun
With a gleam in her eye she said I was the only one
The days came and went just like the tides
It was after the sunset she told me goodbye

Like summer she loved me a little while
Left sand between my sheets
Like summer she loved me a little while
Before it unravelled at our feet
Movin on, movin on

Before the last conclusions were drawn
When there was no night left except for the dawn
We knew the rumours were true
There was nothing left we could do
After the fall

Days at the beach like a ship run aground
Sitting in the sand like a hermit crab
Watching the fog cresting off the waves
Towing me under again

Like summer she loved me a little while
Left sand between my sheets
Like summer she loved me a little while
Before it unravelled at our feet
Movin on, movin on

Before the last conclusions were drawn
When there was no night left except for the dawn
We knew the rumours were true
There was nothing left we could do
After the fall

You know and I know
Seasons come and they go
You know and I know
That’s how it goes

Like summer she loved me a little while
Left sand between my sheets
Like summer she loved me a little while
Before it unravelled at our feet
Movin on, movin on

Before the last conclusions were drawn
When there was no night left except for the dawn
We knew the rumours were true
There was nothing left we could do
After the fall
