Lyrics
Kamakura
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.
Drinking when you're drunken
To chase down the evening
God that girl goes graceful
Wondering which way's home
I heard nothing was changing
And that's the shirt you're wearing
No wonder no one's noticed
That the summer's been and gone
No one says a word
Because it breaks a heart
Submarine keep diving
Seagulls at the waste bins
Wish them all a winter
Must be rough at sea
He's given a bloody nose to the best friend he knows
The only time he's cried since he was seven years old your best friends forgive you,
Your best friends forget you get old
Steaming at the corners
When the blue pulled over
Said he wanted seasons
Miss red hot october
The black maria
Is where he finds his honour
The darker the corner
Now the summer's been and gone
No one says a word because it breaks a heart
The coming and the going
Blame it on the ocean
Or coastal erosion
It must be rough at sea
He's given a bloody nose to the best friend he knows
The only time he's cried since he was seven years old
Your best friends forgive you
Your best friends forget you get old, you get old
No one says a word
Because it breaks a heart
