A lover used to lying his way in and out of relationships gets discovered. Unfortunately for him, this time HE is in love. A summer spent together now comes to an end but he tries to continue the relationship by making more promises but his lover no longer believes in him "stones on the shoreline" and the "words fall on the south side" as she walks away. The "sherry" probably refers to sherry wine as he now drowns his sorrows in alcohol - "rise sherry rise".
