The Boys Of Summer [German translation]

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 driving by your house,

Though I know you're not home...

But I can see you,

Your brown skin shining in the sun!

You've got your hair combed back,

And 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 going to get you back!

I'm going to show you what I'm made of...

And I can see you,

Your brown skin shining in the sun!

I see you walking real slow,

Smiling at everyone...

And 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 dead head 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 shining in the sun!

You've got your top pulled down,

And the 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 shining in the sun!

You got that hair slicked back

And those Wayfarers on, baby

And I can tell you, my love for you will still be strong,

After the boys of summer have gone!
