These strangers

Come calling

Soon enough they're gone

The twilight

Is falling

Lamps will soon go on

And where does summer go

I will never know

Summer used to last end - less - ly

Children all in white

Running down the sand

To me

To me

Sent packing

So lacking

Why not be direct?

After they depart

Lying wide awake through the night

Will you ever come

Running home to me

You might

You might

Playing hide and seek

Kisses on my cheek

The lamps begin to glow

In my heart, I know

You're a lie that I've wai - ted for

Tell them all no more
Em D Cm
Tell them I close the door
