Lyrics for The Coast (Work-In-Progress) - Bonus Track

This is the echo world, the echo world The first song, that lullaby of heartbeat of the coast This is the circle and the circle it rises in the morning mist And rolls along the coast This is a lonely life Sorrow everywhere you turn, turn, turn And that's worth something when you think about it That is worth some money That's worth something when you think about it That is worth some money A trip to the market A trip into the pearl Gray morning sunlight that settles over Washington A trip to the market A trip around the world Where the evening meal is negotiable If there is one This is a lonely life Sorrow everywhere you turn, turn, turn And that's worth something when you think about it That is worth some money That's worth something when you think about it That is worth some money But so strong to love, you don't think about it So strong to love But so strong to love, you don't think about it So strong to love To prove that I love you because I believe in you Summer skies, stars are falling All along the injured coast If I have money, if I have children Summer skies, stars are falling All along the injured coast, sayin' Oo-wah-oo-wah, oo-wah-oo-wah Summer skies and stars are falling All along the injured coast Oo-wah-oo-wah, oo-wah-oo-wah Summer skies and stars are falling All along the injured coast Sheets of rain tore down the rooftop Send machine gun of the beach Drunken pop, she's fell into the wireing Faith is an island beyond the sailor's reach Put the edges of the century retiring This is the only life And that's worth something when you think about it That is worth some money That's worth something when you think about it That is worth some money So strong to love, you don't think about it So strong to love, you don't think about it So strong to love, you don't think about it So strong To prove that I love you because I believe in you Summer skies, stars are falling All along the injured coast If I have money, if I have children Summer skies, stars are falling All along the injured coast If I have weaknesses don't let them blind me Summer skies and stars are falling All along the injured coast, sayin' Oo-wah-oo-wah, oo-wah-oo-wah Summer skies and stars are falling All along the injured coast, I'm Leaving the shadow of the valley behind me Summer skies and stars are falling All along the injured coast, sayin' Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
