Matador sweeps the veil
From the last young day of my life
Malibu tides inhale

Santa Ana Winds from behind

Wade out into the water

No more chances this year
I busied myself all summer
My day for swimming is here

Yes it's time

Seaside revelations

All those dreams and visions of mine
Washed up like a vacation
Lost as I wasted my time


Looking through my dark glasses
I see smiles on the faces of friends

But time keeps pushing me on now
And I'll ride this wave till the end


Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away

Stay awhile, stay awhile

Say goodbye to the weekend

And the last of the summertime sun
Driving off the end of a decade
So many things to be done


September and the trees are restless
Wind chimes blow in the dark

Lying on the couch defenseless
With blue clouds court and spark


Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away

Stay awhile, stay awhile

Please don't go away

Stay awhile, stay awhile
Please don't go away
Stay awhile, stay awhile
