On The Dunes — текст песни (Steely Dan)

Drive along the sea

Far from the citys twitch and smoke

To a misty beach

Thats 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 wasnt fair

Its brutal there

On the dunes



Pretty boats

Sweeping along the shore

In the faltering light

Pretty women

With their lovers by their side

Its 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 its just a joyless place

Where this loneliness began



On the dunes

On the dunes

(loneliness on the dunes)

Im pretty tough

But the wind is rough

On the dunes
