Sweetie in summertime we'll drive to the beach and lay our palms in the sand
You don't have to whistle lies between your teeth
I'm doing the best I can
Waves break into new days
Won't you stay the way you were when you were eight?
When your eyes don't open anymore, I'll be in your reach
I'll be waiting by the blue screen door and we'll go walking along Cannon Beach
Baby my throat is getting sore, can you hear me in the wind?
I could not have given you more
So please take me as I am
Waves break into new days
Won't you stay the way you were when you were eight?
When your eyes don't open anymore, I'll be in your reach
I'll be waiting by the blue screen door and we'll go walking along Cannon Beach
