The sun is going down across the great unknown 
Lights come on inside the towers made of stone 
A muffled drum plays out of sight and all alone 
Summer is over 

The city lies awake and breathes electric air 
The sailor in the bar dreams of a love affair 
Young girls seem to shimmer in fluorescent glare 
Summer is over 

It's a never ending show 
Faces come and go 
Like a river 
You're a rainbow wrapped in gray 
Shake the dust away 
Like a river 

But don't forget me 
Don't forget me now 
Oh don't forget me 
Don't forget me now 

It's a never ending show 
Faces come and go 
Like a river 
You're a rainbow wrapped in gray 
Shake the dust away 
Like a river 

The crowd is spilling from the video arcade 
The owner of the restaurant pulls down the shade 
The thunder of the trucks is like a cannonade 

But now it's over 
But don't forget me 
Don't forget me now 
Don't forget me 
Don't forget me now

Summer is over 
Summer is over 

But don't forget me 
Don't forget me now 
Don't forget me 
Don't forget me now
