Beachcombing

They say there's wreckage washing up All along the coast No one seems to know too much Or who got hit the most Nothing has been spoken There's not a lot to see But something has been broken That's how it feels to me We had a harmony I never meant to spoil Now it's lying on the water Like a slick of oil The tide is running out sea Under a darkening sky The night is falling down on me And I'm thinking that I should [Chorus:] Head on home (Head on home) Been gone too long (Gone too long) Leave my roaming beachcombing Little wild kitten out hunting To see what he can get You're in a big city now That won't stop growing yet The sun is going down smokin' A flaming testament Something has been broken And it feels permanent A little sea bird flying He knows where he wants to go Guess I better pack my stuff And do the thing I know I turn around and head on back Along the old sea wall I feel something give and crack And I'm sorry, that's all [Chorus]
