Clearwater Evening
Verse 1
Out in the harbour on a boat
I watched our love go up in smoke
As fireworks crashed and burned
Over the celebrating folk
Verse2
Clearwater beach: I held your hand
As we dodged the stingrays in the sand
And looked back to the Tampa sky
As it darkened on our plans
Pre-ch.
And ooh girl, never knew you felt so bad
We had our ups and downs
I know I sometimes made you sad
I know I sometimes played around
Ch
On a Clearwater evening
The fourth day of July
As the marching bands and majorettes
High steppin’ passed us by
I was hoping there might be a chance you’d stay
You said, it was fun we had a good time
And I know it hurts you but I’m
Tired of all the fighting, it’s goodbye
On a Clearwater evening
On the fourth day of July
Verse 3
And on the steps of our hotel
A drunk cried out his lonely hell
I guess I had my chance
I didn’t take it very well
Repeat Pre- Ch.
Repeat Ch.
