I know it's out of fashion and a trifle uncool   But I can't help it, I'm a romantic fool   It's a habit of mine to watch the sun go down   On Echo Beach, I watch the sun go down      From nine till five I have to spend my time at work   My job is very boring, I'm an office clerk   The only thing that helps me pass the time away   Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day      On a silent summer evening, the sky's alive with lights   A building in the distance, surrealistic sight   On Echo Beach, waves make the only sound   On Echo Beach, there's not a soul around      From nine till five I have to spend my time at work   My job is very boring, I'm an office clerk   The only thing that helps me pass the time away   Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day      Echo Beach, far away in time   Echo Beach, far away in time   Echo Beach, far away in time   Echo Beach, far away in time   ...
