When summer's slipping away
Where will I be
Standing right here in front of you
Or hanging from a tree
And where have you been
I asked too many times
And you say you've been with me
Oh darling that's a lie
Cause when you say you're going
I won't see you for a while
When summer's slipping away
Where will we be
Sitting watching sunsets
Or drowning at sea
Tell me I'm a fool
You say goodbye
I say I've kept promises
Don't ask me why
I don't know what's going on
You never tell me a thing
You just show up at my home
Asking for a drink
And now we're stumbling
Can barely manage our words
The waves are crashing upon the shore
We stay watching birds
When summer slips away
I'll tell you the truth
I wish we were on this beach
And I was holding you
