about

In the summer of 2006 3FM DJ Claudia de Breij asked a balladeer to cover a summer song and the band picked Don Henley's 80's classic.

lyrics

THE BOYS OF SUMMER

nobody on the road
nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
the summer’s out of reach

empty lake, empty streets
the sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
though I know that you’re not home

but I can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
your got your hair combed back
and your sunglasses on, baby

I can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boy of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
remember how you made me crazy
remember how I made you scream

now I don’t understand what happened to our love
but babe I’m gonna get you back
I’m gonna show you what I’m made of

but I can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
I see you walking real slow
and you’re smiling at everyone

I can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone

out on the road today
I saw a dead head sticker on a Cadillac
a little voice inside my head said: don't look back
you can never look back

I thought I knew what love was
what did I know
those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but

but I can see you
you got that top rolled down
and that radio on

I can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone

I can see you
your brown skin shining in the sun
you got your hair slicked back
and those Wayfarers on, baby

and I can tell you
my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of summer have gone
