Sarah's Beach
Burns
As a pale of whiskey
Burns your heart
Burns your heart
Then
Comes a pale of hunger
As empty as your soul
Empty as your soul
When you smiled at me
That time on Sarah's beach
I knew you were forever
Out of reach
When you dance with the devil
You can run but you can't hide
You can only raise the stakes
To stem the tide
Sarah's beach
On Sarah's beach
Sarah's beach
On Sarah's beach
Flames
Turn into embers
If you damp them down
If you damp them down
And pain
Is all i have to remember
When you don't make a sound
No not a sound
When you cast the stone
To catch the seventh wave
You were trying to catch
The best of these last days
You can dance with the devil
You can run but you can't hide
You can only raise the stakes
To stem the tide
On Sarah's beach
Sarah's beach
On Sarah's beach
Sarah's beach
Search Lights
I see fences where there was no fence before
The flesh tearing wires have even rusted by the door
Oh why the beauty that i could bring to you
Outside in the distance there is something coming through
Oh i say
Outside in the distance there is something coming through
Here beyond the wire they turn the water black
The men around are paid a weekly wage
Just to turn you back
Oh how they keep their petty kingdoms well in view
Outside in the distance i hear something coming through
Oh i say
Outside in the distance there is something coming through
Outside in the distance where those searchlights don't go
There's an immigrant who´s crouching with a bundle of his clothes
The bushes start a rustling so he takes to his toes
Just singing "this is the last of my shows"
Cross-roads is no cross-roads when there's but one route to take
Your fantasy of liberty is a red sign on the gate
I think these things as i walk along a tree lined avenue
Outside in the distance i hear something coming through
Oh i say outside in the distance there is something coming through
Outside in the distance where those searchlights don't go
There's an immigrant who´s crouching with a bundle of his clothes
The bushes start a rustling so he takes to his toes
Just singing "this is the last of my shows"
