Across the atlantic ocean by ferry
Near the island of Nantucket
With amazing beaches and fun
From being with family to friends
As the waves crash onto the shore
Into the ocean we go
Despite the fact it was freezing
Following along with bike rides
Into nantucket town at night

As the month comes to an end of fun
Aboard the ferry back to Connecticut
Goodbye Nantucket
