Coastal Town - Highway 1 The earth smiles and casts her web At the man in the moon The son screams And you can feel the pain As clouds gather round And smother his visions of life. The innocent scamper from truth To be denied As they run from knowing In a false delight Run along with their games And jealousy eats at your soul. Ships nod and shake their head In the wind, while Captain Hook Does his little jig on the waves. Goonies walkin’, talkin’ Lookin’ for the rock Stumblin’ over jewels Somehow they lost sight. The foghorn blows its lonely tone As waves wash against the sand Old friends come to visit And you walk along the shore Pickin’ up seashells Remembering love that is no more Your memories roll out with the tide.
