Your everlasting summer sun Is fading in the sky Labor day's a blurry fast goodbye Take a picture perfect Of a boy that's camera-shy Katy cry Oh katy cry The discontent of winter Looming large and magnified Memories unclear in your mind's eye Cut the cord, you're bleeding And just let it all run dry Katy cry Oh katy cry I could always wait for you On the bay side Come back from the ocean And we'll turn the tide Another endless summer Melting castles in the sand Another boy you thought might be a man Into hibernation with a drink And steely dan Katy cry Oh katy cry
