Story behind the song
Reflecting back on falling in love at the beach during the summer
Lyrics
Once upon a summertime when days were long and dreams were fine
the night brought me to the crescent beach, my home away from home
Gathered ‘round the firelight, guitars were strummin’ high
a krime wave has its casualties, but we were wild ’n free
Chorus:
It’s a far cry from perfection, mmmm, mmmm.
we could head in that direction, mmmm, mmmm
it’s a far cry from perfection, mmmm, mmmm
we could head in that direction, ‘cuz we were wild ’n free
Summer ends as it always does, but me, I couldn’t leave
so I took my place at sand ’n sea, the fire went out on you and me
The band played on the drinks were free the skies grew dark and cold
a faded flannel comforts me from the dead-eye of a kidnapping
Chorus
Time rolled on like the ships at sea ’til the blizzard came and rattled me
now I’m thinkin’ of a summer song to take me back where I belong
Chorus
