Lyrics
The pier is empty now The sea is grey and slow One arcade sign still glows Pink and green No one on the sand The shutters all pulled down I drop a coin in the dark And the lights come on Arcade lights, out of season Still shining on the sea Arcade lights, out of season Shine a little for me The summer went away The gulls still know my name I play one more game By the waves Arcade lights, out of season Still shining on the sea Arcade lights, out of season Shine a little for me Coin in, light on Coin in, light on The sea keeps time All winter long Arcade lights, out of season Still shining on the sea Arcade lights, out of season Shine a little for me Shine a little for me Shine a little for me
