The summer nears its end The record plays again The chemist store's on fire And I can't even lie about it And I'm already there The look's about to stare But the hall begins to shine The water's almost wine And now it all comes apart We call the ending of the start And now the order's defined Would you leave it all behind? Would you leave it all behind? And all the lonely boys are singing Oh oh oh ... As if the only way to start again is on the brink And all the girls reply with Oh oh oh ... In the distance all the birds are flying wilder than The finest note that any one can hear And now it all comes again We call the starting of the end And now we hide all the facts Would you please just come on back? Would you please just come on back? And all the lonely boys are singing Oh oh oh ... As if the only way to start again is on the brink And all the girls reply with Oh oh oh ... In the distance all the birds are flying wilder than The finest note that any one can hear Now you see the lonely truth Now you see the lonely truth But I'm not adding up And I'm not adding up and up and up and up and Oh oh oh ... Singing I'm not adding Oh oh oh ... I want to dance she said she won't cry Been out all night with nowhere to find From the east to the west we leave it behind The North to the south I'm losing my mind baby Oh oh oh ... And lovers all make others for the truth The summer nears its end
