Lyrics
Shutters down on the ice cream shack Gulls are the only crowd Painted pier in a pastel haze Waves are talking loud Summer left a sandy shoe Under the lifeguard chair But I've got the whole front all to myself Sea salt in my hair No queue at the carousel No noise but the sea Just the whole town sleeping And a song for me Boardwalk, boardwalk, dance with me Off season, we're the company Hey, hey, nobody's here But the sea breeze is cheering Boardwalk, boardwalk, take my hand Footsteps keeping time on the sand Hey, hey, the whole shore's ours Out of season, still ours Baker opens just one door Coffee and a warm sweet roll Fishermen in yellow coats Whistle from the knoll Fairy lights on a sleepy cafe Swinging in the wind Every empty bench says come and sit Let the slow day in No queue at the carousel No noise but the sea Just the whole town sleeping And a song for me Boardwalk, boardwalk, dance with me Off season, we're the company Hey, hey, nobody's here But the sea breeze is cheering Boardwalk, boardwalk, take my hand Footsteps keeping time on the sand Hey, hey, the whole shore's ours Out of season, still ours Summer will be back one day With crowds and beach balls flying But I'll remember this quiet morning Gold light, and the gulls replying Boardwalk, boardwalk, dance with me Off season, we're the company Hey, hey, nobody's here But the sea breeze is cheering Boardwalk, boardwalk, take my hand Footsteps keeping time on the sand Hey, hey, the whole shore's ours Out of season, still ours Boardwalk, boardwalk Out of season, still ours
