Old Coast Road

Sun coming down on my shoulder

Moon going down in the sea

I knew nothing could hold her

It took everything from me

We drove into the salt water

A clear sweet shadow lit out

Rolled in stolen Corona

The highway was drowning her out

And then she told me

Don't be afraid of yourself

But when she rolled my dice

That double six was for someone else

I asked if it was over

I mask over my hate

Sadder, well I could control her

Down to her matter late

And then she told me

You've only got today

But when I asked for another

She looked at me and looked away

And then she showed me the menace in her past

And then she showed me another way

And then she owed me everything

But she couldn't stay

Sun coming down on the shoulder

Moon coming up from the sea

Days pass from warmer to colder

Return like a child unto me

And then she told me

Don't be afraid of yourself

And then she told me

You only got today

And then she told me

You'll never be alone

But on that Old Coast Road

When I woke up there was no one home
