Do you remember?
It was such a tender
Summer love affair
Like an ember in the wind
Our love sparked and flared
And now it's going out
Alone without
The promise of a shelter from the storm
While the phantom of that old fire
Burns through the night
To keep us warm
Do you remember?
It was September
When we watched the breakers rolling in
Oh what we surrendered, my darlin'
Was something more than we could give
But when those summer winds
Blow again
We're gonna head on up the coast and anchor down
I know a little spot up there
Right off Desolation Sound
Can you see them waving, baby?
All along the pier
In procession, receding from the bow
Yes, and our hearts we'll anchor here
And watch them drift around
If the summer ever comes
We're gonna head on up to Desolation Sound
Yeah, well maybe if that loan comes through
And if I come around
Can you see them waving, baby?
Silent in the rain
The phantoms stranded on the shore
And I see the truth now, but in vain
From the blind eye of the storm
Can you see them waving, baby?
They're all but disappeared
Receding into Desolation Sound
Yes, but our hearts are anchored here
And I want to thank you, dear
Our hearts are anchored here
It's the world that drifts around
Do you remember?
It was such a tender
Summer love affair
