Snowbirds And Townies - Further Seems Forever

Fountains and flourescent lights

When season has come

The snowbirds have crowded the nights

And old townies are tired

Of their beaches and bars

Being packed so tight

And bridges, and traffic, and inlets

Are locked in their fight

And on these boats

Ride the hopes of working class boys

Dreaming of girls, from far away points

And better things.

Like winter flings

And longing after spring has sprung

And they fly north when winter’s done

And we get burned in summer’s sun

Fountains and fluorescent lights

The season has come

The snowbirds have taken their flight

And young townies and tourists

Find unlikely love at first sight

And swear that they’re never leaving

And that is their plight

And on these boats

Ride the hopes of working class boys

Dreaming of girls, from far away points

And better things.

Like winter flings

And longing after spring has sprung

And they fly north when winter’s done

And we get burned by summer’s sun

This winter is lasting forever

At least for tonight

And I know that you’re never leaving

Until your flight

Takes you off

And out of my arms

And into the air

So far from your charms

That I can not bare

Another year

In this long forgotten beach town

We once shared

This winter is lasting forever

At least for tonight

And I know that you’re never

Leaving me again

No, not again
