[Intro] [Tremolo guitar, waves] [Verse 1] Six o'clock, I blow the whistle Sunburnt faces drifting home Towels and sandals through the turnstile Then the lido's mine alone [Pre-Chorus] Fog comes creeping on the sea wall Lamps are flickering on Somebody always leaves a hat behind [Chorus] It's closing time, closing time Summer's going under the line The water's green, the water's still But something's moving in the deep end Closing time [Verse 2] Rings go spreading on the water And there isn't any wind I lean a little closer, closer Something's leaning closer in [Pre-Chorus] Two eyes shining, round as moons Looking up at me I don't scream, I never do, I run [Chorus] It's closing time, closing time Summer's going under the line The water's green, the water's still But something's waiting in the deep end Closing time [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Don't look back, don't look back Down the promenade in the fog The lido glowing green behind me Like it's calling me home [Final Chorus] It's closing time, closing time I'll be back tomorrow at nine The water's green, the water's still And someone's keeping my hat in the deep end Closing time [Outro] [Tremolo fades into waves]
