I [Am]know it's out of fashion, [D]and a [C]trifle [Am]uncool, [D] [Em]
But [Am]I can't help it, [D]I'm a [C]romantic [Am]fool. [D] [Em]
It's a [Am]habit of mine [D]to watch the [C]sun go [Am]down. [D] [Em]
On [Am]Echo Beach, [D]I watch the [C]sun go [Am]down. [D] [Em]
From [G] to five I have to spend my [D]time at work.
My [G]job is very boring I'm an [D]office clerk.
The [Am]only thing that helps me pass the [Em]time away
Is [Am]knowing I'll be back in Echo [Em]Beach some day.

i know it's out of fashion
And a trifle uncool
But I can't help it
I'm a romantic fool
It's a habit of mine
To watch the sun go down
On Echo beach, I watch the sun go down
From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day
On a silent summer evening
The sky's alive with light
Building in the distance
Surrealistic sight
On Echo Beach
Waves make the only sound
On Echo Beach
There's not a soul around
From nine till five I have to spend my time at work
The job is very boring, I'm an office clerk
The only thing that helps pass the time away
Is knowing I'll be back at Echo Beach some day
Echo Beach
Far away in time
Echo Beach
Far away in time
