You made keys at the hardware store   You made one for my front door    But I don’t lock it anymore   Understand   Beach house windows wind blows through   Some days the ocean’s cruel    The waves they don’t suffer fools   Understand   Summer of lightning    Strking in waves   Don’t go in to the water   Stay on the porch while the storm blows away   We’re gonna get through this dark weather   We’re gonna get through this   Together   July turns to August heat   Burns your face and burns my feet   We have to sleep on top of the sheets   Understand   We will watch the circus breaking down   The ferris wheel stand half-way round   The summer tourists leave this town    Understand   Summer of lightning    Strking in waves   Don’t go in to the water   Stay on the porch while the storm blows away   We’re gonna get through this dark weather   We’re gonna get through this   Together   together   They can board their windows they can pack it in   Drive away until the sprong    We’ll take our walks out in the wind yeah   Take my hand it’s a    Wonderland   Summer of lightning    Strking in waves   Don’t go in to the water   Stay on the porch while the storm blows away   We’re gonna get through this dark weather   We’re gonna get through this   Together   Together, together together
