Looking out on a windy sky
Watching seabirds as they fly
On a summer day, on a summer day
And now the sun is here to stay
The winter seems so far away
In the summertime, in the summertime
Sitting here with my love tonight
News is breaking from the south
On the radio, on the radio
Brother lead and sister steel
Are playing out their final scene
On the radio, on the radio
And when you lie beside me
Soft and quiet in the night
I often listen to the rhythm
Of your heartbeat giving life
You are so precious to me, darling
It will always be that way
Until the final act is over
Until every man has spoken
Until every battle's done, until the day
Transmission ends, transmission ends
Waiting up for a shadow tonight
Coming in via satellite
From America, from America
Whispers from some far off place
Are drifting into outer space
From America, from America
And when I see a shooting star
Go flashing in the night
I often wonder if some other beings
Also see the light
And are they picking up our signals
As they spin of into space
Until the final act is over
Until every man has spoken
Until every summer's gone
Until every battle's done, until the day
Transmission ends, transmission ends
Oh, don't let it happen, don't let it happen, no, no
Darling, I'm always going to love you
Yes, I'm always going to love you
Darling, I'm always going to love you
Until the final day, until the final hour
I'm always going to be with you
Yes, I'm always going to be with you
My love always going to be with you
Until the day comes down
The man is on the radio
This is station planet earth, we're closing down
Transmission ends
Station planet earth is closing down
Transmission ends, transmission ends
