[Verse]

Nobody on the 

road

Nobody on the 

beach

I feel it in t

he air

The summer's o

ut of reach

Empty lake, em

pty streets

The sun goes d

own alone

I'm drivin' by

 your house

Though I know 

you're not at 

home

[Chorus]

But I can see 

you

Your brown ski

n shinin' in t

he sun
            
You got your h

              
air combed bac

           
k and your sun

glasses on, ba

by
            
And I can tell

         
 you my love f

or you will st

ill be strong
            
After the boys

    
 of summer hav

e gone
