Old Coast Road

Sun coming down on my shoulder Moon going down in the sea I knew nothing could hold her It took everything from me

We drove into the salt water A clear sweet shadow lit out Rolled in stolen Corona The highway was drowning her out

And then she told me Don't be afraid of yourself But when she rolled my dice That double six was for someone else

I asked if it was over I mask over my hate Sadder, well I could control her Down to her matter late

And then she told me You've only got today But when I asked for another She looked at me and looked away

And then she showed me the menace in her past And then she showed me another way And then she owed me everything But she couldn't stay

Sun coming down on the shoulder Moon coming up from the sea Days pass from warmer to colder Return like a child unto me

And then she told me Don't be afraid of yourself And then she told me You only got today And then she told me You'll never be alone But on that Old Coast Road When I woke up there was no one home
