Lyrics:

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 spinning around and you're holding on tightly
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
No Fourth 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
'Til summer comes around

I got a job working at the old park pier
And every summer now for five long years
I grease the gears, fix the lights, tighten bolts and straighten the tracks
And I count the days 'til you just might come back

And then I close my eyes and one more time
We're spinning around and you're holding on tightly
The words came out, I kissed your mouth
No Fourth 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
'Til summer comes around

Yeah, yeah
Comes around

Oh, then I close my eyes and you and I
Stuck on the ferris wheel rocking with the motion
And hand in hand we cried and laughed
Knowing that Earth 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 closing down
'Til summer comes around
'Til summer comes around, yeah

'Til it comes around, and it comes around
