|
Followed you down to the beach tonight |
|
Wearing two coats but nothing besides |
|
Forget that we're away from home |
|
Pretend we've got a beach of our own |
|
Always before but never again |
|
In the tall white grass where we ran and slept |
|
I lost my head but the ideas came |
|
Sweating out words like a fevered game |
|
And now that seems it was lost in time |
|
But those two years he was a friend of mine |
|
Summer's so long and it's running away |
|
I lost my chain in the river that day |
|
Watched that fire in the silent dark |
|
I found you crying in the back of your car |
|
In the small hours while the embers glowed |
|
And the light showed drops on the blanket fold |
|
I let you rest from your tired life |
|
Carving that soil with your daddy's knife |
|
And now that seems it was lost in time |
|
Those two years he was a friend of mine |
|
Followed you down to the beach tonight |
|
Followed you down to the beach tonight |
|
Followed you down to the beach tonight |
