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 stumbled 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 And 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 them here seaside I'll pray that they 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 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
