E I spent too much money D E Looked far too glad E D E Now I have so little of what I once had E D E I had too many parties I had too much time E D E I got so lazy and fell well behind [Chorus] A D G Now the summer is over I can count the cost A D Footprints on the beaches are now G Footprints in the frost A D G The summer is over I can count the cost A D Footprints on the beaches are now G E Footprints in the frost [Verse] E D E We did so much damage deep in our insides E D E The party's over, it's going home time E D E The cathedral is empty, no one's at home E D E Winter's approaching; paradise postponed [Chorus] A D G Now the summer is over I can count the cost A D Footprints on the beaches are now G Footprints in the frost A D G The summer is over I can count the cost A D Footprints on the beaches are now G E Footprints in the frost [Verse] E D E I rang lots of numbers and walked many miles E D E I watched the Flintstones and I turned my dial E D E To a brand new station where the beat comes in E D E Now it's all over, the winter begins [Chorus] A D G Now the summer is over I can count the cost A D Footprints on the beaches are now G Footprints in the frost A D G The summer is over I can count the cost A D Footprints on the beaches are now G Footprints in the frost
