Carolina sky is fading to grey
and the pier on the beach clouded in mist
with tears in her eyes she sighed it's okay
leaving me with a lump in my throat
and a farewell kiss

When we were walking on cloud nine
I thought the sun would always shine
now the radio 's playin' a rainy day song
and time 's moving on
A northern breeze is blowin' in
raising goose bumps on my skin
a roosters crowing in the foggy dawn
sweet summer 's gone

tanned skin glowing dusky in the moonlight
with all my senses drinking her in
Learning all the secrets of a magic night
caressed by the gentle whisper
of a southern wind

When we were walking on cloud nine
I thought the sun would always shine
now the radio 's playin' a rainy day song
and time 's moving on
A northern breeze is blowin' in
raising goose bumps on my skin
a roosters crowing in the foggy dawn
sweet summer 's gone

diving so deep and flying so high
it felt so wrong to say goodbye

When we were walking on cloud nine
I thought the sun would always shine
now the radio 's playin' a rainy day song
and time 's moving on
A northern breeze is blowin' in
raising goose bumps on my skin
a roosters crowing in the foggy dawn
sweet summer 's gone

and the radio 's playin' a last summer song
