Lyrics
The Ballad Of The Boardwalk Star
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In a city made of sand (with my old kit bag at my side)
Agleam with lights and dreams
(With my broken guitar across my knees)
I sat outside the spookhouse at sunrise
I saw a million faces without a clue
Watching their fathers playing in the sand
