Lyric Transpontine

Anchors away!
Granted one last summer s day
We watched the sunset silhouette the western suburbs
Across the bay
And when the sky was monochrome
We drained our drinks and headed home
Past bright-eyed boys in business suits
Tourists, where once were prostitutes

And you proposed a promenade neither of us knows
Follow the yellow brick apartment blocks
The Californian bungalows

But remember when you re wandering alongside
The river has a right side and a wrong side
Remember when you re wandering alongside
The river has a right side and a wrong side

I confess It s been a year, or little less
Since last I sallied forth
From the friendly confines of the north
But a single seagull s cry hangs in the quiet suburban sky
And for a moment I m amazed
I ever claimed to hate this place

But remember when you re wandering alongside
The river has a right side and a wrong side
Just remember when you re wandering alongside
The river has a right side and a wrong side
