Lyric On The Dunes

Drive along the sea
Far from the city s twitch and smoke
To a misty beach
That s where my life became a joke

On the dunes
On the dunes
(Became a joke on the dunes)
Where rents are high
And seabirds cry
On the dunes

As you spoke you must have known
It was a kind of homicide
I stood and watched my happiness
Drift outwards with the tide

On the dunes
On the dunes
(Homicide on the dunes)
It wasn t fair
It s brutal there
On the dunes

Pretty boats
Sweeping along the shore
In the faltering light
Pretty women
With their lovers by their side
It s like an awful dream
I have most every night

In the summer all the swells
Join in the search for sun and sand
For me it s just a joyless place
Where this loneliness began

On the dunes
On the dunes
(Loneliness on the dunes)
I m pretty tough
But the wind is rough
On the dunes
