I woke up to shore birds
I must be close to the sea
I walked through the parking lot
felt the pavement burn my bare feet
I stumbled out eastward
brushed my way through the reeds
I woke up to shore birds and dreamed about
drowning at sea
I'm staring out at nothing
Carolina Coast
Awake through the shallows
Feels like I'm chasing your ghost
I think about drowning
I lay down and let go
I'll see you in heaven, everyone,
who left me alone
I reached in my pocket
to pull out a light
forgot I threw out my smokes, weeks ago,
no I can't get it right
I found your lilies
they're dead and they're dry
I'll plant 'em here seaside
and pray that they'll come back to life
you and I
you and I
you and I
you and I
and on the horizon
there's a boat fighting tide
or us stained in pale blue,
it's nearing the end of it's life
somehow it keeps floating
all banged up but alive
I guess I'll feel better then
I won't lay down and die
I'm not coming home tonight, no,
no I'm not coming home tonight, no,
no I'm not coming home tonight without
Diane by my side, no!
