DON HENLEY - THE BOYS OF SUMMER

Nº 8 - 1984





*
Nobody on the road,
Nobody on the beach.
I feel it in the air,
The summers out of reach

Empty lake, empty streets,
The sun goes down alone.
I'm driving by your house
Though i know that you not home...

And i can see you
You brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
Sunglasses on baby

And i can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boy of summer have gone.

Out on the road today
I saw a dead head sticker on a cadillac
A voice inside my head said don't look back
You can never look back

I thought i knew what love was
What did i know
Those days are gone for ever
I should just let them go and...

I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You know your walking real slow
Smiling at everyone

I can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone.

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you drove me crazy?
Remember how i made you scream?

Now i don't understand what happed to our love
Now baby gonna get you back
Gonna show you what i'm made of...

I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your top pulled down,
Radio on baby

And i can tell you
My love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone.
