Anything but mine

Walking along beneath the lights of that miracle mile
Me and Mary making our way into the night
You can hear the cries from the carnival rides
The pinball bells and the ski ball slides
Watching the summer sun fall out of sight

There’s a warm wind coming in from off of the ocean
Making its way past the hotel walls to fill the street
Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hands
Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet

And in the morning I’m leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I would do just fine
And I don’t see how you could ever be anything but mine

There’s a local band playing at the seaside pavilion
And I got just enough cash to get us in
And as we are dancing Mary’s wrapping her arms around me
And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin In the midst of the music I tell her I love her
And we both laugh cos we know it isn’t true
Oh, but Mary there's a summer drawing to an end tonight
And there’s so much that I long to do to you

And in the morning I’m leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
so tonight I hope that I would do just fine
And I don’t see how you could ever be anything but mine

And in the morning I’m leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I would do just fine
And I don’t see how you could ever be anything but mine
Mary, I don’t see how you could ever be anything but mine

And in the morning I’m leaving, making my way back to Cleveland
So tonight I hope that I would do just fine
And I don’t see how you could ever be anything but mine
