ON THE DUNES
|
|
Drive along the sea
|
Far from the city's twitch and smoke
|
To a misty beach
|
That's where my life became a joke
|
|
On the dunes
|
On the dunes
|
(Became a joke on the dunes)
|
Where rents are high
|
And seabirds cry
|
On the dunes
|
|
As you spoke you must have known
|
It was a kind of homicide
|
I stood and watched my happiness
|
Drift outwards with the tide
|
|
On the dunes
|
On the dunes
|
(Homicide on the dunes)
|
It wasn't fair
|
It's brutal there
|
On the dunes
|
|
Pretty boats
|
Sweeping along the shore
|
In the faltering light
|
Pretty women
|
With their lovers by their side
|
It's like an awful dream
|
I have most every night
|
|
In the summer all the swells
|
Join in the search for sun and sand
|
For me it's just a joyless place
|
Where this loneliness began
|
|
On the dunes
|
On the dunes
|
(Loneliness on the dunes)
|
I'm pretty tough
|
But the wind is rough
|
On the dunes
|
|
