Winter at the Shore

A ghost of you is dancing through
 Memories of this town
 I can see you and me
 Before the ride shut down
 Lights on the boardwalk shine for miles
 Places to go explore
 A taste of forever lasts a while
 Who could ask for more
 Your cotton dress, your tenderness
 Candy on your tongue
 Your kiss was warm before the storm
 Of what we'd just begun
 Up in the air right next to you
 I dare you to rock the chair
 We had the fireworks ocean view
 I left my heart up there
 Broken glass, along the path
 Behind the ice cream store
 You'll be gone
 I'll stay on
 Winter at the shore
 I knew that I should take it slow
 Why did I try to speak
 After the words, my eyes were closed
 You kissed me on the cheek
 Now it's dark along the park
 The ocean grinds the stones
 The waves will drown the castles down
 I feel it in my bones
 Walking the empty parking lot
 Sand carried on the wind
 Someone should sweep the spaces clean
 Where would I begin
 The ghost of you slips back through
 The boards across the door
 I can't go in
 That's how it's been
 Winter at the shore
 Winter at the shore
