lyrics

I went riding towards the left-most sign
to the Shelter Cove, where the sun rose high
and there's so many things you can't define
but give it time, make up your mind

As the sun shone East I faced the West
and I couldn't help thinking about my friends
and what had become of them
but I knew in time the light would dim

Still I stay
On my way
'Cause i'm not the man I wanted to portray

As we climbed the rocks the sea it changed
from a misty white to a black and gray
I knew we'd stepped into the fray
we'd found ourselves in the swell's bounty

The sun grew closer every step we took
but it did not stir nor were we shook
the glare was strong but still I looked
across the diamond highway

Still I see
Harmony
It's a simple signal rising from the reef

As sheckles shot across the sea
a lark, a seal, a bumblebee
they moved in ways I'd never seen
like poultry placed from plate to tree

To my best friend I gave a hint
but the point, it seemed, he did not get
he thought that life was just a stint
we'd die before we made it

If that's the truth
Don't tell me so
'Cause when its time for me to go I'll go

I burned my feet and stung my skin
the Devil's patience running thin
I knew not where my life had been
when he decided to take it, he said

'Go to the country you've been missing
you lost all you could here'
Oh, he sold me out that winter
another wasted year
