South Beach

The fog moves down A blanket on the shore And so go I I'll walk forever more Aimless in my obstinacy Caught within a bind I sit by the door And occupy my mind This place it shines like A big blue marble in the light It ebbs and flows and Takes you with its might I'm sitting in the deep blue sea Waiting for the end Don't know why they told me Time all things will mend South Beach Where the rising waters flow South Beach How much longer I don't know Oh lord, take me there Let me take you Back many years ago The sun, it rose Above the glistening snow And yet instead of melting down Pale and still it burned Not a soul in sight Was there to see the turn Now we stand and stare And watch the desert moon Our thoughts, our deeds Are muted by the fumes That rise up and surround the trees And magnify the heat Yes they rise up and surround our lives And take land from beneath our feet South Beach Where the rising waters flow South Beach How much longer I don't know Oh lord, take me there South Beach Where the rising waters flow South Beach How much longer I don't know Oh lord, take me there South Beach Where the rising waters flow
