Storm clouds rush the shore Ocean fills with tears Life speeds up, time rolls by Minutes measure up to years The sun breaks through the clouds Blinking briefly on the bay Casting diamonds here and there Just before it slips away Chorus The last day of Summer Drifts out on the wind Never returning Still it's not the end It's just the last day of Summer Wake up from the dream Life goes on until it's gone Night is never empty as it seems As the shadows fall Somewhere someone lights a fire Dancing like a distant sun Like a walker on a wire As fragile as a flower As mighty as a tidal wave A prayer rises on the wind A seagull cries as if to say Chorus Sunset has no hidden meaning Only beauty, silent as time Melting slowly into the sea As stars like angels rise and shine
