(feat. Emmylou Harris)


They say there's wreckage washing up

all along the coast

no-one seems to know too much

or who got hit the most

nothing has been spoken

there's not a lot to see

but something has been broken

that's how it feels to me


we had a harmony

i never meant to spoil

now it's lying in the water

like a slick of oil

the tide is running out to sea

under a darkening sky

the night is falling down on me

and'im thinking that i should


head on home

been gone too long

leave my roaming

beachcombing


little wild kitten out hunting

to see what he can get

you're in a big city now

that won't stop growing yet

the sun is going down smoking

a flaming testament

something has been broken

and it feels permanent


little seabird flying

he knows where he wants to go

guess i ought to pack my stuff

and do the thing i know

i turn around and head on back

along the old sea wall

i felt something give and crack

and now i'm sorry thats'all


head on home

been gone too long

leave my roaming

beachcombing
