lyrics

some rusted coins
and a bottle of broken green glass
near the ocean
the water flowed to the
edge of the world from here
and on the level sea
summer ‘74 was floating
to the surface
it was cold and clear

from where I stand,
I see nothing but blue and sky
and two birds flying
it’s you and I in the space
of a thousand years
and what will we call it then?
will we call it love like we did
the evening Saturn reappeared?

like every fever must break before
the hallucination can,
I have a reason to stay
where I am

shade me
and leave me here with my lucky hand
wade me in
but let me down where I can stand
fly away while you still can
and ‘til the and ‘til the water away with me
and ‘til the and ‘til the water away with me
I will be here in the hot black sand

it is not far
it is not too hard to find the beach I'm on
I am a shell
and I will be the one you take to your ear
whatever followed you to the shore that
night, well you can be certain
it's now gone, my dear

like every dreamer who asks
‘where does the end of time begin?’
you can always find me right there
breaking in oh

shade me
and leave me here with my lucky hand
wade me in
but let me down where I can stand
fly away while you still can
and ‘til the and ‘til the water away with me
and ‘til the and ‘til the water away with me
I will be here in the hot black sand

all the love, all the rage
all the lines on the page
I believe I have paid
for what I feel
and how I feel it
overcome, overlaid
and so I wait
for the day
this wave washes me away
(on this beach do you wanna hold my hand
do you wanna lie with me
baby in the black sand
we can lie here ‘til the warning tide)

fly away while you still can
and ‘til the and ‘til the water away with me
and ‘til the and ‘til the water away with me
I will be here in the hot black sand
