Carolina Coast

I woke up to shorebirds I must be close to the sea I walked through the parking lot Felt the pavement burning my bare feet I stumble out eastward Pushed my way through the reeds I woke up to shorebirds, I dreamed about drowning at sea I'm staring out at nothing Carolina coast I'll wade through the shallows It feels like I'm chasing your ghost I think about drowning I'd lay down and let go I'll see you in heaven, everyone that left me alone I reached in my pocket, to pull out a light Forgot I threw out my smokes weeks ago Oh I can't get it right But I found your lilies They're dead and they're dry I'll plant 'em here seaside I'll pray they come back to life You and I On the horizon There's a boat fighting tide All rust stained and pale blue It's nearing the end of its life But somehow it keeps floating All banged up but alive And I guess I feel better then I won't lay down and die I'm not coming home tonight, no No I'm not coming home tonight, no No I'm not coming home tonight, without Dianne by my side, no --- Carolina Coast - Aaron West & the Roaring Twenties
