There's nobody on the water And the fishing boats are gone The days are getting shorter And a chill is coming on People stop and they stare As i ride the ferry home The willow trees are barren And the scarecrow stands alone And i safely guard every letter you send I promise that i'll see you again I carry your picture in my mind... And i wait for summertime.. Out there in the distance Moving in the mist Lovers are embracing And they're sharing one last kiss Time will seperate them As time is known to do The hours will betray them... just like They betrayed me and you... Still i safely guard every letter you send I promise that i'll see you again I carry your picture in my mind... And i wait for summertime.. So why don't you come... hurricane And fan these flames Into a bonfire... yeah... In this island city A dirty snow begins to fall I take refuge in the memories Of the summers i recall So i fall on my knees In the pale moonlight And i pray to god i make it Through another night And i safely guard every letter you send I promise that i'll see you again I carry your picture in my mind... And i wait for summertime.. I wait for summertime... I wait for summertime...
