Summer’s end’s around the bend just flying

The swimming suits are on the line just drying

I hope I didn’t ruin your whole vacation

Well you never know how far from home you’re feeling

Until you watch the shadows cross the ceiling

Well I don’t know but I can see it snowing

In your car the windows are wide open

Just like that ol’ house we thought was haunted
