No bod y on the road, no bod y on the beach. I feel it in the air. The sum mer’s out of reach. (D)Emp ty lake, emp ty streets. 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. No bod y on the road, no bod y on the beach. I feel it in the air. The sum mer’s out of reach. (D)Emp ty lake, emp ty streets. 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. gone. gone.
