Your everlasting summer sun
Is fading in the sky
Labor day's a blurry fast goodbye
Take a picture perfect
Of a boy that's camera-shy
Katy cry
Oh katy cry

The discontent of winter
Looming large and magnified
Memories unclear in your mind's eye
Cut the cord, you're bleeding
And just let it all run dry
Katy cry
Oh katy cry

I could always wait for you
On the bay side
Come back from the ocean
And we'll turn the tide

Another endless summer
Melting castles in the sand
Another boy you thought might be a man
Into hibernation with a drink
And steely dan
Katy cry
Oh katy cry
