Sand Dollars

I've been humming a high note
 maybe something that I wrote
 out sailing in my boat
 I'm not really sure
 I'm still singing the same tune
 I've been kicking around since June
 all morning and afternoon
 now it's all a blur
 I've been listening to sea shells
 to hear the stories that they tell
 of high times and tide swells
 that have yet to occur
 Backsliding down the drain
 partially taking all the blame
 Chasing coins to fill the purse
 is it really better or for worse
 is it a blessing or a curse
 to pass the buck
 Is it a bounty or a bust
 is it precious metal or just rust
 well it seems it's up to us
 so wish us luck
 ♪
 I kept making a U-turn
 ended up with a sunburn
 but the lesson that I learned
 was worth the skin that peeled
 I climbed so many mountains
 it's not even worth counting
 all the drinks in the fountain
 before it was revealed
 ♪
 From the copper to the kettle
 the stamen to the petal
 we watch the value of sand dollars crumble
