They're boarding up this water town
Ain't nobody hangin' 'round
Another gray September day
Was I crazy to think she'd stay?
If that sun would've just hung up in that sky just a little bit, yeah just a little bit longer
If those blue water waves could've stayed at our feet on a beach 'stead of going out with the tide
If that wind was a friend it'd still be blowing in like a warm southern whisper on her
She might have stayed forever and never ever left these arms if only I
had a little more summertime.
I brace myself against the cold
And let her memory take hold
Stirring that old fire up
As if I don't miss her enough.
