The summer wind The summer wind came blowin' in from across the sea It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand Two sweethearts and the summer wind Like painted kites, those

Oh, I'm sailin' away, my own true love I'm sailin' away in the morning Is there something I can send you from across the sea From the place that I'll be landing? No, there's nothin' you can send me, my own true love There's nothin' I wish to be ownin'

I did what I did One wrong turn on Bourbon Cuts like the knives of New Orleans Tonight, a bleeding memory Is tomorrow's guilty vein Your auburn hair on a faraway sea wall Screams across the Pontchartrain I'm haunted by headlights And a crescent city

When I come around No time to search the world around 'Cause you know where I'll be found I heard you crying loud, all the way across town Cause you been searching for that someone And it's me out on the prowl As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

For my home and my English rose But my heart still beats But I'd long to be Oh, my heart still beats Across the sea By the Tennessee skyline They told me I'd find my hopes and my dreams In the bed of my true love Back where I came from

Mass hysteria, mass hysteria We ride a dying star Across a burning sea We’re like a supernova now The fire is burning in me With day to day Shock waves shatter me I don't beg in security Get up and don’t look back now

Night and stars above that shine so bright The myst'ry of their fading light That shines upon our caravan Sleep upon my shoulder as we creep Across the sand so I may keep The mem'ry of our caravan This is so exciting You are so inviting Resting in my arms

Through the sorrow, and the fights Don't you worry 'Cause everything's gonna be alright And everything's gonna be alright 'Cause everything's gonna be alright, Damn, let me see Oh across the ocean, across the sea Starting to forget the way you look at me

I know that you can't walk across a bridge that's already burned, so What am I supposed to do, I can't help that they chose To breathe it in, but I don't wanna choke On that secondhand smoke Sometimes you could hear a pin drop Or the ticking of the clock

Too late there's no escape Down they fly From out of the sky Feel the radiation burn! In 1945 the year it came to be Their fate decided Many miles across the sea They told them not to fear They couldn't be prepared.
