See this ancient riverbed |
|
See where all my folly's led |
|
Down by the water and down by the old main drag |
|
I was just some tow-head teen |
|
Feeling 'round for fingers to get in between |
|
Down by the water and down by the old main drag |
|
The season rubs me wrong |
|
The summer swells anon |
|
So knock me down, tear me up |
|
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup |
|
Down by the water and down by the old main drag |
|
Sweet descend this rabble 'round |
|
The pretty little patter of a seaport town |
|
Rolling in the water and rolling down the old main drag |
|
All dolled up in gabardine |
|
The lash-flashing Leda of pier nineteen |
|
Queen of the water and queen of the old main drag |
|
The season rubs me wrong |
|
The summer swells anon |
|
So knock me down, tear me up |
|
But I would bear it all broken just to fill my cup |
|
Down by the water and down by the old main drag |
