There's nobody on the water
And the fishing boats are gone
The days are getting shorter
And a chill is coming on
People stop and they stare
As i ride the ferry home
The willow trees are barren
And the scarecrow stands alone

And i safely guard every letter you send
I promise that i'll see you again
I carry your picture in my mind...
And i wait for summertime..
Out there in the distance
Moving in the mist
Lovers are embracing
And they're sharing one last kiss
Time will seperate them
As time is known to do
The hours will betray them... just like
They betrayed me and you...

Still i safely guard every letter you send
I promise that i'll see you again
I carry your picture in my mind...
And i wait for summertime..

So why don't you come... hurricane
And fan these flames
Into a bonfire... yeah...

In this island city
A dirty snow begins to fall
I take refuge in the memories
Of the summers i recall
So i fall on my knees
In the pale moonlight
And i pray to god i make it
Through another night
And i safely guard every letter you send
I promise that i'll see you again
I carry your picture in my mind...
And i wait for summertime..
I wait for summertime...
I wait for summertime...
