The summer on the docks Remember all we did And all those things you said That they're not so long ago When we were kids I used to drive around In the summer late I rolled the windows down And laughed And listening to that sound Old box of tapes And there's so much sound And the waves are breaking Oh my heart is taking all she can Come one day down to wash away All those crumbling mansions on the sand I've seen the neighborhood I get a splash of paint And fix the rotten wood You know there's so much here the sun has caused to fade And there's so much change And the waves are breaking Oh my heart has taken all she can Come one day down to wash away All those crumbling mansions on the sand And I'll try to wrap my arms around the sea Well I'll try to hold the surf back and the tide Well I'm holding on to something that can't be No matter how I try And there's so much change And the waves are breaking And my heart had taken all she can Come one day down to wash away All those crumbling mansions on the sand The summer on the docks Remember all we did And all those things you said back then They're not so long ago When we were kids
