Torch lights light up the night, its bittersweet my sweet delight The sun's setting earlier every day The vibrations are getting strange and your signal's out of range September's just one week away And they're singin' "hey, now the summer's almost over, hey all the waves are changin' shape – and the breeze is blowin cold off of the water" And I know you won't be comin' back again no no Palm trees just swing and sway, but I can hear the words they say "you should have known it would come to this" An island love can never last with a girl on a season pa** Like the tide she will always roll away When they're singin' "hey, now the summer's almost over, hey all the waves are changin' shape – and the breeze is blowin' cold off of the water" And I know you won't be comin' back again no no The sunset the day we met was so sweet that I can't forget But no matter what you say, I know you could never live this way Stargazer in your hair, wahine, you're so fair But you don't belong where the locals play The mystery has left your eyes, we've seen out last sunrise No more are the dolphins in the bay Hey, now the summer's almost over Hey, now the summer's almost over Hey, now the summer's almost over And I know you won't be comin' back again no no
