** chantal would occasionally play a piano version of this song (a top 5 hit for don henley in 1984) during her early performances, promoting under these rocks & stones. these are the official lyrics to the song, and not accurate to the way chantal plays it. **
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm drivin' by your house
Though i know you're not at home
But i can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how i made you scream
Now i don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, i'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what i'm made of
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Out on the road today, i saw a deadhead sticker on a cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "don't look back. you can never look back."
I thought i knew what love was - what did i know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And i can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
I can see you
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
