beachcombing

Lyrics

they say there's wreckage washing up, all along the coast, no one seems to know too much, of who got hit the most, nothing has been spoken, there's not a lot to see, but something has been broken, that's how it feels to me, we had a harmony, i never meant to spoil, now it's lying in the water, like a slick of oil, the tide is running out to sea, under a darkening sky, the night is falling down on me, and i'm thinking that i should, head on home, been gone too long, leave my roaming, beachcombing, little wild kitten out hunting, to see what he can get, you're in a big city now, won't stop growing yet, the sun is going down smoking, a flaming testament, something has been broken, and it feels permanent, little seabird flying, he knows where he wants to go, guess i ought to pack my stuff, and do the thing i know, i turn around and head on back, along the old sea wall, i felt something give and crack, and now i'm sorry that's all, head on home, been gone too long, leave my roaming, beachcombing
