They say there's wreckage washing up
All along the coast
No one seems to know too much
Or 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
That won't stop growing yet
The sun is going down smoking
A flaming testament
Somethiing 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
I'm coming home from June 30 - July 3. Will anyone be in town for the 1st and 2nd? :)
Also, I highly recommend Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris' new album, All The Roadrunning. Do yourself and, if you use downloading software, download the above song, "Beachcombing", or anything else from the album. Failing that, buy a couple songs from the iTunes store.
