Barber Pole Summer

[Chorus] That barber shop summer, a memory so sweet On concrete steps, where childhood dreams would meet Coconut wax scent, a sugary haze Lost in the echoes of those sun-drenched days. [Verse] Eight years old, a Saturday scene Grandpa's haircut, the barber's routine I'd trace the swirling barber pole's gleam Watch the red and white, a hypnotic dream. [Pre-Chorus] Collecting clippings, like treasures I'd find Tiny brown bits, left carefully behind Aluminum cans clinked, a fizzy delight Jazz on the radio, soft and so bright. [Chorus] That barber shop summer, a memory so sweet On concrete steps, where childhood dreams would meet Coconut wax scent, a sugary haze Lost in the echoes of those sun-drenched days. [Verse] The asphalt shimmered, with heat from the street Old metal fan blades, a rhythmic beat Faded posters clung, to the wall so bare Whispering stories, floating in the air. [Pre-Chorus] Every detail etched, in my mind's eye so clear A vintage cash register, holding moments dear Those simple pleasures, I can't recreate Sealed like a stamp, before it's too late. [Chorus] That barber shop summer, a memory so sweet On concrete steps, where childhood dreams would meet Coconut wax scent, a sugary haze Lost in the echoes of those sun-drenched days. [Bridge] Now years have passed, the town's rearranged But that feeling lingers, forever unchanged A summer gone by, a season I miss Carried on the breeze, with a gentle kiss. [Verse] I search for that feeling, in the city's loud hum But the magic is gone, the moments are numb That sweetness of coconut, the jazz in the air Just ghosts of a summer, beyond all compare. [Chorus] That barber shop summer, a memory so sweet On concrete steps, where childhood dreams would meet Coconut wax scent, a sugary haze Lost in the echoes of those sun-drenched days. [Outro]
