On The Dunes Lyrics

Drive along the sea

Far from the city's twitch and smoke

To a misty beach

That's where my life became a joke

On the dunes

On the dunes

(became a joke on the dunes)

Where rents are high

And seabirds cry

On the dunes

As you spoke you must have known

It was a kind of homicide

I stood and watched my happiness

Drift outwards with the tide

On the dunes

On the dunes

(homicide on the dunes)

It wasn't fair

It's brutal thereSteely Dan - On The Dunes - http://motolyrics.com/steely-dan/on-the-dunes-lyrics.html

On the dunes

Pretty boats

Sweeping along the shore

In the faltering light

Pretty women

With their lovers by their side

It's like an awful dream

I have most every night

In the summer all the swells

Join in the search for sun and sand

For me it's just a joyless place

Where this loneliness began

On the dunes

On the dunes

(loneliness on the dunes)

I'm pretty tough

But the wind is rough

On the dunes
