Breakwater
I bathed within the breakwater
Breaking in, evading alarm
Saying it ended, bought the farm then
Praying and grinning, throw up your arms
And all you stained in dereliction
Is in the foam upon the tide
And the breakwater takes on my pain now
And I slake all the shame from my brow
For to spin in a sad fog no longer
It's been a sin to have maundered about so long
It's quintessential to inch along now
In quick dissension and quit the song
Get to Frenchmen. Get to New Orleans somehow
Forget to mention you brought me harm, did me wrong
Should I have fawned on like a good dog on your front lawn?
To cringe upon the promise of a home beyond the dawn
Breakwater take on my pain now
And I slake all the shame from my brow
For to spin in a sad fog no longer
Been a sin to have maundered about so long
Waves on the breakwater try
To recall all you gave the lie
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there. I did not die
And the breakwater takes on my pain now
And I slake all the shame from my brow
For to spin in a sad fog no longer
Been a sin to have maundered about so long
So long
So long
So long
Too long
Breaking in, evading alarm
Saying it ended, bought the farm then
Praying and grinning, throw up your arms
And all you stained in dereliction
Is in the foam upon the tide
And the breakwater takes on my pain now
And I slake all the shame from my brow
For to spin in a sad fog no longer
It's been a sin to have maundered about so long
It's quintessential to inch along now
In quick dissension and quit the song
Get to Frenchmen. Get to New Orleans somehow
Forget to mention you brought me harm, did me wrong
Should I have fawned on like a good dog on your front lawn?
To cringe upon the promise of a home beyond the dawn
Breakwater take on my pain now
And I slake all the shame from my brow
For to spin in a sad fog no longer
Been a sin to have maundered about so long
Waves on the breakwater try
To recall all you gave the lie
Do not stand at my grave and cry
I am not there. I did not die
And the breakwater takes on my pain now
And I slake all the shame from my brow
For to spin in a sad fog no longer
Been a sin to have maundered about so long
So long
So long
So long
Too long
