Carolina Coast

I woke up to shorebirds

I must be close to the sea

I walked through the parking lot

Felt the pavement burning my bare feet

I stumble out eastward

Pushed my way through the reeds

I woke up to shorebirds, I dreamed about drowning at sea

I'm staring out at nothing

Carolina coast

I'll wade through the shallows

It feels like I'm chasing your ghost

I think about drowning

I'd lay down and let go

I'll see you in heaven, everyone that left me alone

I reached in my pocket, to pull out a light

Forgot I threw out my smokes weeks ago

Oh I can't get it right

But I found your lilies

They're dead and they're dry

I'll plant 'em here seaside

I'll pray they come back to life

You and I

You and I

You and I

You and I

On the horizon

There's a boat fighting tide

All rust stained and pale blue

It's nearing the end of its life

But somehow it keeps floating

All banged up but alive

And I guess I 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 Dianne by my side, no
