No bod y on the road,

I feel it in the air.
The sum mer’s out of reach.

The sun goes down a lone.
I’m driv in’ by your house though I know you’re not home.
But I can see you, your brown skin shin in’ in the sun.
You got your hair combed back and your sun glass es on, ba by.
And I can tell you my (D)love for you will still be strong af ter the boys of (C)sum mer have gone.
