[Verse 1] 0:43
I know it's ou
t of fashion,
And a trifle
uncool,
But I can't he
lp it, I'm a
romantic fool
,
It's a habit o
f mine, To w
atch the sun g
o down,
On Echo Beach,
I watch the
sun go down.
[Chorus] 1:06
From nine to f
ive I have to
spend my time
at work,
My job is very
boring I'm an
office clerk,
The only thing
that helps me
pass the time
away,
Is knowing I'l
l be back at E
cho Beach some
day.

[Verse 2] 1:41
On silent summ
er evenings,
The sky's ali
ve with light,
A building in
the distance,
Surrealistic
sight,
On Echo Beach,
Waves make
the only sound
,
On Echo Beach,
There's not
a soul around
.
[Chorus] 2:04
From nine to f
ive I have to
spend my time
at work,
My job is very
boring I'm an
office clerk,
The only thing
that helps me
pass the time
away,
Is knowing I'l
l be back at E
cho Beach some
day.
