[Verse 1]

   Nobody on t

  I feel it in

Empty lake, em

wn alone.

  I'm driving 

by your house,

 though I know

 you're not ho

[Chorus]
             
But I can see 

    
you, your brow

n skin shining

 in the sun.
              
You got your h

              
air combed bac

         
k and your sun

glasses on, ba

by.
             
I can tell you

     
, my love for 

you will still

 be strong
              
After the boys

    
 of summer hav

e gone.

            

[Verse 2]

   I never wil

l forget those

 nights, I won

der if it was 

a dream.

  Remember how

 you made me c

razy, remember

  Now I don't 

understand wha

our love.

But babe, I'm

[Chorus]

I see you walk

[Verse 3]

   Out on the 

road today I s

aw a Deadhead 

Sticker on a C

  A little voi

in shining in 

the sun.
              
You got your h

After the boys
