|
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 |
