On the Dunes

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 there
 On the dunes
 ♪
 Pretty boats
 Sweeping along the shore
 In the faltering light
 Pretty women
 With their lovers by their sides
 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
