You made keys at the hardware store You made one for my front door But I don't lock it anymore, understand Beach house windows wind blows through Some days the ocean's cruel The waves, they don't suffer fools Understand summer of lightning Striking in waves, don't go in to the water Stay on the porch while the storm blows away We're gonna get through this dark weather We're gonna get through this Together July turns to August heat Burns your face and burns my feet We have to sleep on top of the sheets Understand We will watch the circus breaking down The ferris wheel stand half-way round The summer tourists leave this town Understand Summer of lightning striking in waves Don't go in to the water Stay on the porch while the storm blows away We're gonna get through this dark weather We're gonna get through this Together Together They can board their windows, they can pack it in Drive away until the spring We'll take our walks out in the wind, yeah Take my hand, it's a wonderland Summer of lightning Striking in waves, don't go in to the water Stay on the porch while the storm blows away We're gonna get through this dark weather We're gonna get through this Together Together, together, together
