Snowbirds And Townies

Fountains and flourescent lights

the season has come,

the snowbirds have crowded the nights

the townies are tired of beaches and bars

being packed so tight

and bridges and traffic and inlets are locked in their fight

and on these boats

ride the hopes of...

working class boys, dreaming of girls from faraway points

and better things

like winter flings

and longing after spring has sprung

and they fly north when winter's done

and we get burned in summer's sun

fountains and flourescent lights

when the season has come,

the snowbirds have crowded the nights

townies and tourists find unlikely love at first sight

and swear that they're never leaving,

and that is their plight

and on these boats

ride the hopes of...

working class boys, dreaming of girls from faraway points

and better things

like winter flings

and longing after spring has sprung

they fly north when winter's done

and we get burned in summer's sun

this winter is lasting forever

at least for tonight

and i know that you're never leaving

until your flight takes you off

and out of my arms

and into the air

so far from your charms

that I cannot bear

another year

in this long forgotten beach town we once shared

and this winter is lasting forever

at least for tonight

and i know that you're never leaving,

never leaving me again

not again
